Sisi's willingness to support Saudi Arabia; the Egyptian parliament convenes an emergency meeting

After Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Sisi asked representatives of Saudi Arabia's parliament to approve Saudi Arabia's support against the Houthis' attacks, if requested by Saudi Arabia, he will hold an emergency meeting

Egypt joined the Saudi-led military intervention in Yemen in 2015, although its role focused mainly on securing shipping lanes in the Red Sea rather than combat operations on the front

Since the renewed outbreak of the Yemen war in July, the Houthis have intensified their attacks on Saudi Arabian targets, including energy facilities and Riyadh International Airport, where 13 people were killed in a ground attack last week. The Houthis also say that a large number of civilians were killed and injured in Saudi attacks on areas under their control
