Riyadh, Oct 6 (KUNA) -- The Saudi Cabinet affirmed today, Tuesday, the Kingdom’s full support for the Presidential Leadership Council, the legitimate government, and the Yemeni people in ending the coup and restoring the state and its institutions from the terrorist Houthi militia, which has chosen military escalation as an alternative to peace. The Saudi Press Agency reported that Saudi Media Minister Salman Al-Dosari made these remarks during a session convened by the Saudi Cabinet, chaired by Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman, in Riyadh. The Cabinet stressed that the Houthi militia continues to deepen the humanitarian and economic suffering in Yemen and threatens the region, maritime navigation in the southern Red Sea, and the Bab al-Mandab strait. The Council commended the outcomes of the emergency meeting of the Strategic Political and Defense Committee of the Mecca Defense Pact, which reaffirmed solidarity among the three countries and their united front in confronting attacks on the Kingdom that targeted Mecca, Medina, and civilian and economic installations. The Saudi Cabinet also welcomed the agreement reached at the meeting to activate collective deterrence and to immediately move to the practical implementation of joint defense commitments, thereby enhancing readiness, military integration, and the capacity to counter such threats.
