Egypt’s president vows to use ‘any measure’ to defend Saudi Arabia and seeks authorization to deploy troops abroad as battle against Houthis escalates

Egypt's president has vowed to employ any measure necessary to defend Saudi Arabia as the conflict with Houthis escalates. Egypt's top security body has agreed to provide assistance against Houthi attacks, which target airports and oil infrastructure using advanced drones and missiles. Consequently, the Egyptian Parliament convened on Sunday and continues deliberations on Monday to seek official authorization for the deployment of troops abroad to support the kingdom's defense against these challenging aerial threats.
