President Sisi chaired a defense committee meeting that reviewed regional
developments and what it called escalating, unacceptable attacks against Saudi
Arabia. The committee said Saudi national security is closely linked to the
security of Egypt and other Arab states; Egypt will stand in full solidarity and
provide all necessary and possible support to defend Saudi security, stability,
resources and territorial integrity. Egypt also pledged to continue and
strengthen political and diplomatic coordination with relevant regional and
international parties to promote de‑escalation and a peaceful resolution of the
crisis.
