Rania El-Shimi: Parliamentary Mandate to Support Saudi Arabia Reflects Egypt’s Arab Security Principles

Egyptian MP Rania El-Shimi said the House of Representatives’ approval of a mandate for President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi to support Saudi Arabia reflects Egypt’s longstanding commitment to protecting Arab national security.

El-Shimi said the authorization allows the president to take the necessary measures to support the kingdom and defend its territory and sovereignty.

The lawmaker framed the parliamentary decision as an expression of established Egyptian state principles, linking support for Saudi Arabia to the broader protection of Arab security.

Her remarks emphasized the defense of Saudi territory and sovereign rights, without specifying what measures the presidential mandate could involve.
