Sisi says Egypt ready to defend Saudi Arabia from Houthi attacks

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi said Egypt's military stands ready to defend Saudi Arabia from escalating Houthi attacks and asked parliament to convene an emergency session to authorize such action if needed. The statement follows a strike on a Riyadh airport that killed 13 people, including an American, according to the New York Post. The Wall Street Journal reported Iran is providing the Houthis targeting and intelligence support.
