> Egypt may be close to joining the war against the Houthis. The Iran-backed group has mounted sustained attacks on Saudi Arabia in recent weeks following the September collapse of a truce in Yemen. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman visited Egypt in mid-September to seek possible military support, and Egypt’s president put the request before parliament on Saturday.
