Sisi Says ‘Inconceivable’ for Egypt to Stand by as Saudi Security and Stability Are Threatened
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said on Wednesday that Cairo's proposed military support for Riyadh was to "defend Saudi territory, and does not include an attack on Yemen," according to a statement from his office. At a government event titled Egypt Forum 2026, Sisi said the "objective is to defend the Kingdom's lands and borders, as well as those of any other Arab state, should it be requested of Egypt," his spokesman said in a statement. "Egyptian military operations do not extend beyond the borders of Egypt or those of any sisterly nation," he added.
