During the meeting, Al-Jaber reiterated Kuwait’s strong condemnation and rejection of the terrorist attacks carried out by the Houthi militia against several areas in the sister Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, as well as their attempts to target Makkah Al-Mukarramah and Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah. He emphasized that these heinous attacks constitute a blatant violation of the Kingdom’s sovereignty, a flagrant breach of international law and international humanitarian law, a clear infringement on the sanctity and religious status of Islamic holy sites, and a provocation of Muslims’ sentiments worldwide.
He stressed that the continuation and repetition of these organized hostile acts, which involve targeting civilian objects and vital facilities, represent a serious escalation and a direct threat to the security of the Kingdom and regional stability. This is in addition to the grave risks they pose to civilian safety and air navigation security, necessitating a firm international stance that ensures accountability for those responsible for these attacks. Furthermore, he reaffirmed Kuwait’s absolute solidarity with the sister Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and its support for all measures taken to safeguard its sovereignty, protect its security and stability, and counter the terrorist attacks launched by the Houthi militia. He emphasized that the security of the Kingdom is an integral part of the security of the State of Kuwait and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries.
