BREAKING: Egypt officially deploys troops to Saudi Arabia to fight Yemen’s Houthis, with the National Defense Council approving it, and parliament holding an emergency session this afternoon, per MP Bakry.
It makes Egypt the largest Arab state to commit troops against the Houthis.
Egypt now enters a war against the force controlling Bab el-Mandeb, putting the Suez canal in play.
