Egyptian National Defense Council Offers Assistance to Protect Saudi Security
Egypt’s National Defense Council, chaired by President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, has pledged to provide Saudi Arabia with necessary support to protect its security and territorial integrity. The move comes in response to recent attacks by Yemen’s Houthi group against Saudi Arabia, including strikes on Riyadh’s international airport and Saudi Aramco facilities. Egypt’s House of Representatives is set to hold an emergency session to discuss parliamentary authorization for defensive assistance to Saudi Arabia if requested. The developments were reported by Egyptian Streets.
