Egypt approves military support for Saudi Arabia after Houthi attacks escalate
CAIRO, Oct 26 (Reuters) - Parliament authorised Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi on Monday to take "all necessary measures" to help Saudi Arabia defend itself — a move that could push Cairo more directly into the conflict between the kingdom and Yemen's Iran-allied Houthis
Egypt's parliament has authorized President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi to take all necessary measures to aid Saudi Arabia in defending itself against escalating attacks by Houthi rebels. This decision could potentially place Egypt more directly into the conflict between Saudi Arabia and Yemen's Iran-allied Houthis. The Houthis' advances also threaten the strategic Bab el-Mandeb Strait, which serves as the southern gateway to the Red Sea and Egypt's Suez Canal.
