The Egyptian Parliament has decided to postpone until next week the debate concerning President Abdel Fattah al-Sissi’s request to authorize military support to Saudi Arabia in the conflict in Yemen, reports France 24.
This decision follows an emergency session held on Monday, which concluded without a decision. State media indicated that the postponement aims to allow for more thorough reflection on this sensitive issue.
Interviewed by France 24, Dr. May Darwich, Associate Professor of Middle Eastern International Relations at the University of Birmingham, emphasized that this military operation lacks clear objectives and an exit strategy. She warned that under these conditions, Egypt’s military involvement could in fact weaken its regional role.
