Egyptian Parliament authorised President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi to provide military support to Saudi Arabia if requested, focusing on defending Saudi territory amid escalating Houthi attacks linked to Iran. The move signals a potential deeper Egyptian involvement in the Yemen conflict, aligned with Saudi interests and regional stability concerns around the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
