Egypt

Egypt's House of Representatives has adjourned a vote on authorising armed forces to support Saudi Arabia against Houthi attacks, pushing the decision to October 26. The opposition Social Democratic Party said it would abstain, citing insufficient information, though most of its lawmakers back the measure. The delay extends debate on Egypt's role in the Yemen conflict as regional tensions mount.

The Saudi-led coalition fighting Yemen's Houthi rebels said it intercepted and destroyed four drones over Riyadh and other regions on Saturday, as Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi signalled willingness to help defend the kingdom. The latest attack follows a wave of Houthi strikes on Saudi airports and oil facilities, including a deadly strike on King Khalid airport last week that killed 13 people.
