The Houthis in Yemen: Egypt's approval of military support for Saudi Arabia is tantamount to a "declaration of war" Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, October 27: A senior leader of the Houthi armed forces in Yemen said on the 27th that the Egyptian parliament's approval of the Egyptian president to take measures to support Saudi Arabia amounts to a "declaration of war on Yemen". According to Agence France-Presse, Saudi Defense Minister Khaled bin Salman, Director of Turkey's National Intelligence Service Kalin and Pakistan Army Chief of Staff Munir discussed the easing of regional tensions with Iran the day before in the Iranian capital Tehran. Muhammad Ali Huthi, a member of the armed political bureau of the Houthis, responded by publishing a statement on the "Telegram" social networks. The above statements regarding Egypt were part of the statement. The Houthis said in a statement that when representatives of Saudi Arabia and Pakistan went to Iraq to discuss “regional security,” “Egypt and its parliament announced their support for the so-called defense of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. To do so is tantamount to declaring war on the Republic of Yemen." The above-mentioned representatives of the tripartite parties from Saudi Arabia and Pakistan held a meeting with Iran's President Fazhizian and the Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, Mohsin Razai, on the 26th. According to a statement published on the website of the Iranian Presidency, Pazhchian said during the meeting that Iran supports any consensus that helps promote unity, cooperation, security and development in West Asia, and emphasized the need to strengthen unity and cooperation between Islamic countries. On the same day, the Egyptian Parliament issued a statement saying that based on the decision made by the Egyptian Defense Council on the 18th, President Sisi was authorized to take the necessary measures to support Saudi Arabia in resisting any external attacks and to maintain Saudi Arabia's sovereignty and the security of the holy places of worship. According to Reuters, this move may allow Egypt to "intervene more directly in the conflict between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis." The three countries of Saudi Arabia and Pakistan signed the "Mecca Mutual Defense Agreement" in August. The agreement states that an armed attack on any of the three countries will be considered an attack on all three countries. The Houthis have repeatedly attacked King Khalid International Airport and energy facilities in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, this month. So far, Turkey and Pakistan have not announced military strikes against the Houthis.
