Egypt has pledged full support to Saudi Arabia to defend against Houthi attacks amid rising conflict in Yemen, including potential defence assistance and diplomatic efforts to de-escalate. This includes military readiness coordinated with Saudi leadership and focuses on securing regional stability and maritime routes, especially the Red Sea.
