Egypt parliament authorises military support to Saudi Arabia
Egypt's parliament authorised on Monday sending military support to Saudi Arabia to defend the kingdom from attacks by Yemen's Houthis, following a request from President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi. The House of Representatives voted with a two-thirds majority in favour of "authorising President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi to take the necessary measures to support the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia", according to a parliament statement. The parliament, stacked with supporters of Sisi, had held three rare secret meetings on the matter and postponed the vote twice.
