Secretary-General of the Gulf Cooperation Council: Houthi Attacks Require a Firm and Responsible International Stance

Jassem Mohammed Al-Badawi, the Secretary-General of the Gulf Cooperation Council, condemned in the strongest terms the heinous Houthi attack that targeted the province of Taif in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with a drone, which resulted in debris falling that caused the death of one person and injured others, in addition to causing material damage.

The Secretary-General affirmed that the continued terrorist attacks by the Houthi group and their repeated targeting of civilian and populated areas in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia represent a dangerous escalation and an unacceptable disregard for the lives and security of civilians, as well as a blatant violation of all international laws and norms, according to a statement from the council published on X.

Al-Badawi emphasized that these repeated attacks require a firm and responsible international stance towards the treacherous Houthi practices, and action must be taken to stop them and hold those responsible accountable, in order to ensure the protection of civilians and prevent the continued threat to the security and stability of the region.

The Secretary-General reiterated the firm position of the Gulf Cooperation Council and its full solidarity with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in facing all that threatens its security, stability, and the safety of its territories, citizens, and residents, affirming that the member states stand united with the Kingdom and support it in all measures and actions taken to maintain its security, sovereignty, and territorial integrity.
