Well technically the Houthis were a group of Iranian origin occupying Yemen, but semantics aside:
While tons of western media articles will tell you all about how Egypt economy will suffer from Houthi strikes on cargo ships, Egypt and Saudi Arabia have so far declined to join forces in dealing with the Houthis. I believe at least one official was quoted saying the Gaza situation is a more immediate problem, even after an intercepted Houthi Drone strike towards Israel ended up falling on Egyptian citizens.
To clarify, though, I am not on the side of Egypt or Israel in this conflict, nor the Houthis. Just pointing out Egypt Politics don’t align all that well with US interests.
