A telephone conversation between the foreign ministers of Egypt and Saudi Arabia about the growing tensions in the region.
Egypt announced today that Badr Abdul Ati, the country's foreign minister, and Faisal bin Farhan, his Saudi counterpart, discussed in a telephone conversation the efforts to curb the current crisis in the region and prevent the further spread of tensions.
According to this report, both sides agreed to continue close bilateral coordination.
Egypt's parliament on Monday authorized President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi to take "all necessary measures" to help Saudi Arabia defend itself.
This decision was made in a situation where the conflicts between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis in Yemen, who are aligned with Iran, have increased.
An official from the political office of the Houthis in Yemen called the approval of the Egyptian parliament a "declaration of war."
