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 challenged Cairo’s characterization of its support for the kingdom, which Egypt says is limited to defending Saudi territory.

The parliamentary authorization allows Sisi to take defensive measures to support Saudi Arabia. The summary provided no details on the specific measures covered.

Al-Houthi’s statement and Cairo’s position reflect sharply different interpretations of the authorization: Ansar Allah portrays it as a move against Yemen, while Egypt maintains that its role is defensive.
