Kuwaiti Cabinet condemns ongoing Houthi attacks on Mecca and Medina

Kuwait’s Cabinet has expressed its strong condemnation and denunciation of the ongoing blatant and reprehensible attacks by the Houthi militia against Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia.

The Cabinet said these actions provoke the sentiments of Muslims worldwide and represent a serious escalation in violating the sanctity of Islamic holy sites. It also condemned attacks on the capital, Riyadh, and other Saudi cities, as well as targeting civilians, civilian and economic facilities, and ships in the Red Sea and Bab Al-Mandab Strait, warning that such acts threaten regional security and maritime safety.

Kuwait reaffirmed its categorical rejection of these repeated hostile and cowardly acts, describing them as a flagrant violation of Saudi sovereignty and a clear breach of international law and humanitarian law. The Cabinet reiterated Kuwait’s support for Yemen’s legitimate government and the sovereignty, independence, and unity of Yemen. It also praised Saudi Arabia’s efforts since 2014 to support initiatives aimed at reaching a comprehensive and lasting political settlement in Yemen, in line with the three agreed references, and its leadership of the coalition supporting legitimacy in Yemen.
