Saudi Official Categorically Denies 'Wall Street Journal' Claims Regarding Alleged 'Demands' of Houthi Militias

Riyadh, Nov 5 (KUNA) -- Saudi Arabia’s Undersecretary of State for Public Diplomacy, Ambassador Dr. Raed Qarmali, categorically denied on Thursday claims published by the US newspaper The Wall Street Journal regarding alleged demands made by the Houthi militia, affirming that they are baseless. In a post on his official account on the X platform, Qarmali stated that these allegations were “fabricated by the article’s authors or their purported sources,” noting that the militias had turned against the Yemeni government, caused the starvation of the Yemeni people, plunged the country into conflicts and agendas that do not serve Yemen or its people, attacked commercial vessels in the Red Sea waterways, targeted civilian and economic assets, and rejected all peace efforts. Qarmali reminded the article’s authors that Yemen has a recognized government. (End)
