Egypt Parliament Delays Vote on Military Support to Saudi
Egypt’s parliament delayed approval after el-Sisi said any military role would need lawmakers’ consent and be limited to defending Saudi security.
- Egypt's House of Representatives convened an emergency session on Sunday at President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi's request but delayed a vote on military support for Saudi Arabia until Tuesday.
- Intensified cross-border hostilities between Saudi Arabia and Houthi forces prompted el-Sisi to reaffirm Cairo's readiness to defend the kingdom, characterizing potential involvement as strictly defensive.
- Under Article 152 of Egypt's constitution, a combat mission abroad requires two-thirds House approval. Sanaa's parliament speaker, Yahya al-Raee, warned that military involvement "would pose a grave danger to national security and internal stability before anyone else's."
- On Sunday evening, Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty spoke by phone with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi about "reducing tensions" as regional concern mounted over potential military escalation.
- Analyst Sami Hamdi reports that Saudi Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman and UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed are lobbying Trump regarding competing plans for Yemen's future and Houthi conflict strategy.
