Discussion on Egypt's Role in Yemen Conflict

Is it possible, for example, that Egypt would be targeted for entering it

and defending Saudi Arabia, thus expanding

the scope of this war?

I assure you, my dear brother, there's no shame between us,

Egypt is too great to become involved in aggression against

Yemen.

An American foreigner intervenes.

But you said that anyone who joins Saudi Arabia, Egypt

will join in its defense.

Yes, generally speaking, but we're reassured.

No, we're reassured when it comes to Egypt, we're reassured.

Why? Because the majority of the Egyptian people sympathize with

Yemen and are against Saudi Arabia. And note that when the Sudanese army

became involved in the aggression against Yemen, the crisis was reflected on

Sudan. And now, the crisis Sudan is suffering from is

because of the rebellion of the Rapid Support Forces,

which, during the war, were under the direct supervision of

the Emirati leadership and the Saudi leadership.

They were no longer under the command of the Sudanese army, which

enabled them to arm themselves, increase their forces, train, and then rebel.

The Egyptian army also has bitter memories as a result

Its previous intervention in Yemen was one of the causes of the defeat of '67.

The Egyptian army's intervention and its depletion in Yemen.

Therefore, the Egyptian people and also the

Egyptian leadership, the authorities of the Egyptian regime, as well as the

Egyptian army realize that any involvement in the aggression against

Yemen will not serve Egypt. Therefore, I am certain

and reassured of that. I mean, look, even the Egyptian regime

sympathizes with Yemen. I'm telling you this bluntly.

But this is just out of courtesy because they feel it.

How did you conclude that, Mr. Mohammed?

And they want to reassure them.

How did you conclude that? How did you conclude they sympathize with Yemen?

Okay, look, for example, at the start of the aggression, at the start, okay, at the start

of the aggression against Yemen.

Briefly, please.

In the aggression against Yemen, there was Saudi pressure on Egypt.

Yes, at the start of the aggression against Yemen, there was Saudi pressure on

Egypt to take part in the aggression against Yemen, although

Egypt at that time needed Saudi Arabia to confront the Muslim Brotherhood.

The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, too. And I’ll add one more point, so that

The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt is opposed to

Thank you.

Egypt’s involvement in the aggression against Yemen because the Muslim Brotherhood is more

rational in Egypt than the rest of the groups.

Thank you very much for being with us.
