The Saudi Cabinet strongly condemns the false claims of the terrorist Houthis militia and its involvement in regional conflict to advance its sinister agenda and objectives.
His Majesty King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, chaired the meeting of the Council of Ministers held in Jeddah. The Council reviewed the content of a telephone conversation received by His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, from Lebanese President Joseph Aoun, during which the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s supportive stance toward Lebanon and its efforts to achieve stability and peace in the region were highly appreciated.
According to the Saudi Press Agency (SPA), the Council followed up on recent developments in the regional arena and their repercussions on international peace and security. In this context, it strongly condemned the baseless claims and false accusations by the Houthi terrorist militia, which lack any factual basis, and their involvement in regional conflicts to advance their sinister agenda and objectives. These actions have contributed to deepening the suffering of the brotherly Yemeni people and threatening regional security and stability. The Council reiterated the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s continued support for the brotherly Yemeni people and its legitimate government, as well as its commitment to taking resolute measures to protect its security and shipping in accordance with international law and the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.
The Council also reaffirmed the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s solidarity and full support for the State of Kuwait, the Kingdom of Bahrain, and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan in the measures they are taking in response to Iran’s blatant attacks, which violate international law and the principles of good neighborliness. It emphasized the importance of an immediate halt to all forms of military escalation to preserve the stability of the countries in the region and their peoples.
