Egypt's Sisi: Gulf stability tied to Egypt's national security
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi said Egypt’s military role is limited to defending Saudi territory and does not include attacks on Yemen.
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi emphasized on Wednesday at the Egypt 2026 Forum that the stability of Gulf nations is intrinsically tied to Egypt's national security. He clarified that Egypt's military role is strictly confined to safeguarding Saudi territory, and does not encompass any military actions against Yemen. El-Sisi underscored that these defensive measures are strictly limited to protecting Saudi Arabia's borders and are never intended to launch attacks on Yemen.
Speaking at the forum, he reiterated the indivisibility of Arab national security and underscored that the stability of Gulf nations is closely linked to Egypt's own security interests. El-Sisi affirmed Egypt's readiness to defend the territories of other Arab countries upon request, interpreting this commitment as a natural extension of the concept of joint Arab national security.
He stressed that Egyptian military interventions are strictly limited to Egypt's borders and those of allied states, with Cairo's commitment to protecting the security and stability of these countries.
