قَالَ الرَّئِيسُ الْمِصْرِيُّ عَبْدُ الْفَتَّاحِ السِّيسِيُّ إِنَّ مِصْرَ قَدْ تُسَاعِدُ السُّعُودِيَّةَ إِذَا طَلَبَتْ ذٰلِكَ. وَتَحَدَّثَ عَنْ هٰذَا الْأَمْرِ فِي حَفْلٍ لِتَخَرُّجِ طُلَّابٍ مِنَ الْأَكَادِيمِيَّةِ الْعَسْكَرِيَّةِ الْمِصْرِيَّةِ.
طَلَبَ السِّيسِيُّ مِنَ الْبَرْلَمَانِ الْمِصْرِيِّ الْمُوَافَقَةَ عَلَى هٰذَا الدَّعْمِ إِذَا طَلَبَتْهُ السُّعُودِيَّةُ. وَقَالَ إِنَّ أَيَّ خُطْوَةٍ سَتَكُونُ لِلدِّفَاعِ، لَا لِبَدْءِ حَرْبٍ أَوْ مُهَاجَمَةِ أَيِّ طَرَفٍ.
وَأَعْلَنَ الْبَرْلَمَانُ أَنَّهُ سَيَعْقِدُ جَلْسَةً يَوْمَ الْأَحَدِ، ١٨ أُكْتُوبَرَ، لِبَحْثِ طَلَبِ الرَّئِيسِ. وَقَالَ السِّيسِيُّ أَيْضًا إِنَّ مِصْرَ تُرِيدُ حِمَايَةَ أَمْنِ دُوَلِ الْخَلِيجِ. وَتَأْتِي هٰذِهِ التَّصْرِيحَاتُ بَعْدَ هَجَمَاتٍ عَلَى السُّعُودِيَّةِ. وَلَمْ يَكُنْ هُنَاكَ إِعْلَانٌ عَنْ طَلَبٍ سُعُودِيٍّ لِلْمُسَاعَدَةِ أَوْ مُوَافَقَةٍ بَرْلَمَانِيَّةٍ عِنْدَ نَشْرِ هٰذِهِ الْأَخْبَارِ.

Egypt Seeks Approval to Support Saudi Arabia if Asked
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi said Egypt might help Saudi Arabia if it asks. He spoke about this at a graduation ceremony for students of the Egyptian Military Academy.
El-Sisi asked the Egyptian parliament to approve this support if Saudi Arabia requests it. He said any action would be for defense, not to start a war or attack anyone.
Parliament announced it would hold a session on Sunday, October 18, to discuss the president’s request. El-Sisi also said Egypt wanted to protect the security of the Gulf states. His remarks followed attacks on Saudi Arabia. At the time these reports were published, there was no announcement of a Saudi request for assistance or parliamentary approval.
