GCC Secretary-General Condemns Houthi Attacks on Abha and King Khalid Airports in Strongest Terms

On Wednesday, Secretary-General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Jassem Al-Budaiwi expressed his strongest and most severe condemnation of the terrorist attacks carried out by the Houthi militia, which targeted Abha and King Khalid airports in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, resulting in civilian casualties.

In a statement, Al-Budaiwi said that targeting civilian airports and endangering the lives of travelers, workers, and civilians constitutes a serious escalation and a blatant violation of international laws and norms, necessitating a firm and deterrent international response and preventing the continuation of such practices that threaten regional and international peace and security.

He reaffirmed the GCC states’ unity in standing side by side with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, expressing their full solidarity with it in confronting all threats to its security, stability, sovereignty, and the safety of its citizens and residents, as well as supporting all measures undertaken by the Kingdom to protect its territory, assets, and security.
