Egypt confirmed on Sunday that Israeli media reports about its preparations for military intervention in Yemen are misleading and baseless.
An Official Egyptian source denied Israeli media reports about Egypt's preparations for military intervention in Yemen.
The Official Egyptian source stated that such reports and the misleading information they contain are baseless.
Meanwhile experts believe that the threats coming from the Houthis are certainly considered a direct danger to Egypt, particularly when it comes to strategically important international maritime routes, including the Suez Canal and surrounding waterways.
Dr. Mohamed Mahmoud Mahran, who is an international law expert was quoted saying “Egypt has a legitimate right to intervene, basing its actions on Article 51 of the UN Charter, which grants the right to self-defense against threats to national security.
He emphasizes that while regional stability is crucial for every country in the Middle East, the multiple instabilities in the region, including tensions between Israel and Palestine, can have a serious impact on Egyptian policy and willingness to intervene.
