WorldWhy is Egypt so wary of joining the Yemen conflict?

Egypt is weighing whether to help defend Saudi Arabia from Houthi attacks, but its costly intervention in Yemen in the 1960s looms large. President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi said any deployment would focus on defending Saudi Arabia, not attacking the Houthis, while Egypt’s foreign minister called for a political solution. Parliament is scheduled to vote on the proposed deployment.
