Kritika ng mga bansa sa Golpo at ng Komunidad Pandaigdig sa mga teroristikong atake ng mga Houthi: Nagbabanta sa kaligtasan at katatagan ng rehiyon

New York, United Nations – News Agencies: United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres and the Secretary-General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), Jasim Muhammad Al-Budaiwi, condemned the Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia and the targeting of civilian facilities, warning of their serious implications for the region's security and stability. This stance was expressed during a meeting between Guterres and Al-Budaiwi in New York, on the sidelines of the GCC Secretary-General's participation in the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly.

GCC Secretary-General Jasim Al-Budaiwi strongly condemned the continued attacks by the terrorist Houthi militia on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, most recently the launch of a ballistic missile toward the city of Riyadh, in addition to targeting several other cities within the Kingdom.

In a statement, Al-Budaiwi said that the persistent and futile attempts by the terrorist Houthi militia to target civilians and infrastructure in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia reveal their aggressive and treacherous approach and necessitate a firm international stance to deter these unacceptable attacks.

He reaffirmed the GCC and its member states' united stand alongside the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and their full support for all measures it takes to protect its security, sovereignty, and territorial integrity, emphasizing that any targeting of the Kingdom is a targeting of the region's security and stability.

The two sides discussed the latest regional developments and the efforts being made regarding them, as well as the cooperative relations between the GCC and the United Nations and ways to strengthen them.

During the meeting, Guterres praised the development, progress, and prosperity achieved by the GCC member states, as well as their regional and international efforts aimed at enhancing security and stability.

This GCC-UN stance comes after the United Nations Security Council condemned the ongoing attacks launched by the Houthis against Saudi Arabia, including attacks that caused damage to civilians and energy infrastructure, resulting in injuries among civilians, including women and children.
