Any Egyptian military backing for Saudi Arabia could mark a major escalation in the wider Iran war, which has threatened global energy supplies and sent oil prices soaring.
Egypt’s parliament is holding sessions to discuss authorizing the deployment of forces to support Saudi Arabia against the Houthis. The parliament has apparently been called in to discuss this in order to show that the government has a broad mandate. If such a mandate is not achieved, then the government can point to parliament as a reason for its hesitancy.
