Saudi Arabia’s security

El-Sisi said that Cairo would not accept any infringement on Saudi Arabia’s security or borders and rejects any threats to the security of the Red Sea and international maritime routes. He added that attacks on the kingdom affect Arab and Egyptian national security.

According to the agency, this month the Houthi group from Yemen attacked at least five Saudi airports and other facilities. These attacks resulted in casualties, material damage and disruptions to air traffic. The agency also reported attacks on Saudi Arabia’s energy facilities.

El-Sisi drew attention to risks on Egypt’s southern and western borders. According to him, Cairo had made efforts to prevent the conflict in Sudan between the country’s armed forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, which has continued since 2023.
