Ansar Allah 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 put Ansar Allah at odds with Cairo over the scope and meaning of Egypt’s backing for the kingdom.

Egypt maintains that its support is limited to defending Saudi territory, presenting the measures as defensive rather than an action against Yemen.

The contrasting positions center on the parliamentary authorization: Cairo frames it as support for Saudi Arabia’s territorial defense, while al-Houthi portrays it as a hostile move toward Yemen.
