· Cairo, Egypt

Egyptian troops, armored vehicles and air defense systems have been deployed in Saudi Arabia for several months to protect sensitive sites, including Mecca and Medina, Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty told France 24. Riyadh requested the deployment amid Houthi attacks, and it is being reinforced after Egypt’s parliament approved it in October 2026. Abdelatty stressed that the mission is strictly defensive and limited to Saudi territory.
