Houthi Figure Calls Egypt’s Defensive Support for Saudi Arabia a ‘Declaration of War’

Mohammed Ali al-Houthi has described the Egyptian parliament’s authorization for President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi to take defensive measures in support of Saudi Arabia as a “declaration of war” on Yemen.

His remarks cast the parliamentary mandate as a hostile move toward Yemen, despite Cairo’s stated position that its support is limited to defending Saudi territory.

The authorization allows Sisi to take defensive steps to support the kingdom. The information provided did not specify what measures Egypt might undertake.

Cairo’s position and al-Houthi’s response reflect sharply different interpretations of the mandate, with Egypt emphasizing defense and the Houthi figure portraying it as an act of war.
