A Houthi official said Tuesday that the Egyptian Parliament’s decision to support Saudi Arabia amounted to a “declaration of war” against Yemen. The parliament in Egypt, which said it is considering joining the Makkah Defence Pact, on Monday authorised the Egyptian military to help defend Saudi Arabia, a major financial and political partner for Cairo.Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Turkey recently signed a NATO-style defence pact in Mecca that says an attack on one country is to be considered an attack on all three. However, the countries have not announced any strike on the group amid recent fighting between Saudi Arabia and the Houths.Saudi Arabia has intensified strikes against the Houthis since they captured strategic areas along Yemen’s Red Sea coast last month. The Houthis have hit Saudi airports, ports and oil installations. What is your take on Egypt’s militray support to Saudi arabia?
