Al-Badawi: The continuation of Houthi terrorist attacks on Saudi Arabia is a dangerous escalation and a blatant violation of international law

He called for a firm international stance and affirmed the unified position of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) member states in solidarity with the Kingdom.

Jasem Mohamed Al-Budaiwi, Secretary-General of the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf (GCC), expressed his strongest condemnation on Thursday of the heinous Houthi attack that targeted the Taif Province in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia using a drone. The attack resulted in the death of one person, injuries to others, and material damage from falling debris.

In a statement, Al-Budaiwi said, “The Houthi group’s continued terrorist attacks and its repeated targeting of civilian and populated areas in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia constitute a dangerous escalation, an unacceptable disregard for the lives and safety of civilians, and a blatant violation of all international laws and norms.”

He emphasized that the GCC member states stand united with the Kingdom and support it in all measures and actions it takes to safeguard its security, sovereignty, and territorial integrity.
