Egyptian President Sisi said on the 17th that if Saudi Arabia requests support, Egypt is “willing to use all means to protect” each other. Sisi said that Egypt has no intention of intervening in regional wars, but when Saudi Arabia is “harmed or its security and stability threatened,” Egypt cannot stand idly by. He said that Egypt will “fully support the defense of the territory of fraternal countries in the Gulf region.” At the same time, he stressed, “I'm not talking about who to attack or which party; we're just talking about defense.” Sisi also said that he hopes the Egyptian parliament will hold an emergency session to give the government the power to provide support when it receives requests from Saudi Arabia. Egyptian media later reported that in response to President Sisi's request, the Egyptian parliament is scheduled to hold an emergency session on the 18th. Egypt is Saudi Arabia's main ally in the Middle East. The two sides have a close relationship, and Saudi Arabia has provided Egypt with economic support for a long time. Egypt is a member of the Saudi-led multinational coalition. Previously, it mainly participated in escort matters in the Red Sea area, and basically did not intervene in combat operations.
