Saudi crown prince goes to Egypt for support amid Houthi strikes, and other Mideast developments

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman traveled to Egypt on Tuesday to meet with the Egyptian president to secure support against Yemen's Houthi rebels. The diplomatic visit follows a series of Houthi attacks targeting Saudi infrastructure and shipping vessels within the Red Sea region.
These regional security threats have disrupted critical maritime shipping routes and contributed to a global increase in oil prices. While the two nations are established allies, reports suggest that Egypt is unlikely to provide direct military intervention in the conflict.
