Sisi confirms Egypt's support to Saudi Arabia
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi announced that Egypt is militarily prepared to defend the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and protect its lands against external threats, while excluding any participation in offensive operations in Yemen. He confirmed that any potential intervention would be solely defensive, focusing on safeguarding Saudi borders, and emphasized Egypt's readiness to defend any other Arab country upon request. This stance comes amid escalating clashes between the Saudi-led coalition and the Houthi group in Yemen, along with growing fears of an expanding regional conflict that has impacted global oil markets. The Egyptian Parliament is expected to vote on authorizing the armed forces to support Saudi Arabia on October 26. The strategic relationship between Cairo and Riyadh remains strong, with a history of military and economic cooperation, despite Egypt's limited past involvement in the Yemen war.
