Egypt's parliament has authorised President Abdel Fattah El Sisi to send troops to Saudi Arabia, an MP close to the government said on Monday, clearing the last constitutional hurdle to a possible deployment against the Houthis. “Parliament approved authorising President El Sisi to send forces to Saudi Arabia if required, and after co-ordination between the two countries,” Mostafa Bakry wrote on X after a closed session in Cairo, the third over the past nine days to discuss the natter.
