Egypt’s Sisi and Saudi Crown Prince Stress Need for Security of Red Sea Navigation

Saudi Arabia faces rising Houthi attacks on shipping and energy routes as Mohammed bin Salman meets Abdel Fattah al-Sisi on regional security.

  • On Tuesday, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed will travel to Cairo to meet Egyptian President Abdel Fattah for regional security talks following his meeting with Adm. Brad Cooper in Jeddah.
  • The visit follows advances by The Houthi near the Mandab Strait, where the group captured Mokha and strategic islands, increasing security pressure on Riyadh and threatening Red Sea shipping routes.
  • Saudi energy infrastructure faces strain after a drone attack disabled the 1,200-kilometre East-West oil pipeline; crude production fell to about 6.24 million barrels per day in August, its lowest level since 1990.
  • Vice President Vance confirmed Washington is holding direct talks with The Houthi, while President Donald Trump emphasized Gulf states should manage their own regional affairs, signaling shifting U.S. strategy.
  • Egypt seeks to maintain ties with Saudi, the UAE, and Iran while rejecting coordination with The Houthi following recent territorial seizures, navigating competing regional pressures without direct Yemen involvement.
