Egypt is getting ready to help Saudi Arabia defend itself. Egypt’s leaders say this is about keeping the region safe and protecting Arab interests.
Recently, Egypt’s parliament started looking at a plan to give the military the power to step in. This move comes as fighting in Yemen continues to cause problems in the area.
Some might worry this means Egypt is jumping into a big war in Yemen, but government officials are trying to calm those fears. One member of parliament explained that the goal is to protect Arab security, not to start a new war.
Egypt is also pushing for peace talks. They believe that even while preparing to help their neighbors, they should keep trying to find a way to stop the fighting through talking instead of shooting.
Top military commanders in Egypt have drawn a 'red line' regarding the situation in Yemen. This means there are certain things they will not tolerate, and they are ready to act if those lines are crossed.
For now, the focus remains on standing by Saudi Arabia while hoping that diplomatic solutions can still work.
