Saudi Crown Prince Seeks Egypt's Support Amid Houthi Attacks on Oil Routes
Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has turned to Egypt for support as Houthi rebels in Yemen continue to target Saudi shipping and infrastructure, driving up global oil prices.
The Red Sea region is a critical artery for global oil trade, with millions of barrels passing through it each day. The recent attacks by the Houthi rebels have heightened concerns about regional stability and security.
The Crown Prince's visit to Egypt comes as Yemen's President Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi has been absent from power since 2015, leaving a power vacuum in the country.
