Egypt's parliament has approved military and defensive support for Saudi Arabia, news agency Xinhua and The Jerusalem Post reported. The decision comes following an escalation in attacks by the Houthis.

According to The Jerusalem Post, Egypt has repeatedly condemned Iranian and Iranian-backed strikes against Gulf nations, but has refrained until now from direct combat involvement and has not joined the Mecca mutual defense pact.

Specific details regarding the scope of the military support and its implementation have not yet been officially released.
