Oct 18 (Reuters) – Egypt is ready to provide Saudi Arabia with the support it needs to defend its security and stability, the presidency said on Sunday, as Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis intensify their attacks on the world’s largest oil exporter.
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi requested an urgent parliament session to authorise the military, one of the Arab world’s largest, to help defend Saudi Arabia if the kingdom requested its support.
