Al-Badawi Praises UN Security Council's Condemnation of Houthi Militia's Terrorist Attacks on Saudi Arabia

Jassim Mohamed Al-Bedaiwi, Secretary-General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), expressed his appreciation for the position articulated by members of the UN Security Council in their presidential statement regarding the attacks carried out by the Houthi terrorist militia against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. He emphasized that the Council’s condemnation of these attacks constitutes a clear international message rejecting the continued targeting of the Kingdom and its national assets, as well as the threat to maritime navigation and international trade routes. He clarified that the significance of the statement lies in affirming the international community’s responsibility to halt these violations and prevent the Houthi militia from continuing to receive weapons and support that fuel its aggression. He pointed out that full implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 2216 (2015) represents an international obligation that must be fulfilled, thereby contributing to putting an end to these practices that threaten the security and stability of the region. The Secretary-General affirmed that the GCC views the security of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as a fundamental pillar of the shared Gulf security architecture, and that GCC member states stand in a unified and decisive position alongside the Kingdom, supporting it in all measures it takes to defend its sovereignty, safeguard its security, and protect its citizens and residents on its territory.
