GCC Secretary-General Condemns Houthi Militia Terrorist Attacks on Saudi Arabia's Najran Region

Al-Badawi: Houthi attacks on civilians constitute a blatant violation of international law and a crime warranting accountability

The Secretary-General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), Jassem Al-Bedaiwi, expressed his strongest condemnation and denunciation today, Friday, of the heinous terrorist attacks carried out by Houthi militias targeting the Najran region in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which resulted in injuries to several innocent civilians. These attacks represent a cruel and cowardly assault that epitomizes the criminal approach of these militias.

In a statement, Al-Badawi said that this abominable terrorist crime committed by the Houthi militias constitutes a blatant violation of international law and international humanitarian law, and is a crime that warrants accountability due to its deliberate and random targeting of civilians and civilian objects. This act openly defies all international norms and covenants and poses a serious threat to regional and international security and stability.

He emphasized that the security of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is an integral part of the security of the GCC member states, affirming the Council’s unified stance in support of the Kingdom and its full endorsement of all measures taken to protect its security, sovereignty, and territorial integrity, as well as to safeguard the security of its citizens and residents on its soil.
