Daily Star/AFP: Egypt, Saudi sign pact to boost military ties

CAIRO: Egypt and Saudi Arabia signed a pact in Cairo Thursday aimed at boosting military and economic ties between the two Arab allies.

Relations have warmed since the 2013 ouster of Islamist president Mohammad Morsi, with Saudi Arabia offering billions in aid to Egypt and Cairo participating in a Saudi-led bombing campaign against Iran-backed rebels in Yemen.

On Thursday, a Saudi delegation led by Deputy Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman visited Cairo and signed the "Cairo Declaration," also attending a military parade with President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi.

WNU Editor: This is fallout from the U.S. - Iranian nuclear deal. My prediction .... this Saudi - Egyptian military/political alliance is going to grow.
