00:00Egypt's proposed military support for Saudi Arabia is aimed at defending the Gulf Kingdom and won't involve an attack on
00:07Yemen, President Sisi said on Wednesday.
00:11Sisi has asked Parliament to support Riyadh in its war against Yemen's Houthi rebels.
00:17Our stance alongside our brothers in the Gulf is an extension of our joint Arab national security between us and
00:25them and all of our efforts.
00:28Just so people understand, because I've heard a lot of talk over the past few days suggesting that we're going
00:34to launch an attack on Yemen or something along those lines, no, of course not.
00:40We've never engaged in cooperation for the sake of fighting outside the borders.
00:46We're talking about defending the land and borders of the Kingdom.
00:53Parliament will deliberate Sisi's requests next week.
00:57Dissenting MPs are demanding clear objectives.
01:02We do not extend our military efforts beyond the borders of Egypt, nor those of any sister state whose security
01:10and stability we are keen to protect.
01:16Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia have forced Riyadh to shut its main airport.
01:22A maritime blockade is also threatening oil exports.
01:26The situation can't bear any further instability in other countries.
01:31We want to restore the countries that have lost their stability.
01:43Iran has warned that Egypt's involvement in the crisis would make the situation more difficult.
