Egypt Ready to Act to Protect Saudi Arabia If Asked Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi has ordered the country's parliament to hold an urgent session to approve potential measures to protect Saudi Arabia from external aggression, as reported by media. Egypt and Saudi Arabia are at "the heart of the Arab and Islamic worlds", and any damage to either would have repercussions for the other — making the assertion that their national security, along with that of the Arab Gulf states, is interconnected an accurate one, the president noted earlier. Egypt would tolerate no infringement on the kingdom's security or borders, and no threat to the Red Sea or international shipping lanes, he affirmed.Subscribe to @sputnik_africa Sputnik Africa | X
