Egypt, Saudi declare national security 'interconnected' after Houthi attacks

Egypt's foreign ministry issued a statement asserting that Egyptian and Saudi national security are 'interconnected and inseparable,' warning that Houthi attacks on Saudi territory would fuel regional tensions. The statement follows recent Houthi missile/drone strikes targeting Saudi Arabia, signaling potential Egyptian alignment with Riyadh and possible escalation of regional confrontation. The exact nature of Egypt's commitment remains unspecified, but the rhetoric marks a notable diplomatic hardening.
