'Declaration of War': Houthis Warn Egypt Over Military Support to Saudi Arabia | Firstpost Africa

Watch this video as Firstpost explains how Egypt’s Parliament has authorised President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi to deploy military support to Saudi Arabia if requested, responding to intensifying Houthi attacks targeting Saudi airports and oil infrastructure. Cairo officials emphasise the mandate is strictly defensive, aimed at safeguarding allied borders, holy sites, and critical infrastructure rather than initiating offensive operations against Yemen. Despite Cairo’s defensive framing, Houthi officials denounced the vote as a 'declaration of war.' The decision underscores deep economic and strategic ties between Cairo and Riyadh, as well as Egypt’s urgent interest in securing Red Sea maritime corridors vital to Suez Canal revenues. While seeking legal backing for troop deployment, Egypt continues to pursue diplomatic avenues, with talks with foreign ministers and UN consultations urging maximum restraint to prevent further escalation. Meanwhile, Egyptian citizens remain divided over potential military involvement, weighing regional solidarity against concerns about economic fallout for a fragile national economy. Alyson Le Grange brings you more on this story on Firstpost Africa.
