Egypt's parliament has approved military aid to defend Saudi Arabia after Yemen's Houthi attacks escalated.
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi asked parliament last week that Egypt could help defend its Gulf ally and the world's biggest oil exporter if Saudi Arabia asks for help against the Houthis.
It should be noted that the advance of the Houthis also poses threats to the important sea passage between the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.
This route is crucial for Egypt's access to the Suez Canal and plays a key role in global trade and oil shipments.
