Egypt's top security body agrees to help Saudi Arabia defend itself against Houthi attacks

Egypt’s top security body announced Sunday that it has agreed to support Saudi Arabia in response to escalating hostilities with Houthi rebels in Yemen. The decision aligns Egypt with its regional ally as the conflict between the kingdom and the Iranian-backed group intensifies.

The development marks a significant escalation in the ongoing regional conflict. The move follows broader expressions of support from Gulf nations, which have formally condemned the recent Houthi attacks against Saudi territory.
