Arab Parliament welcomes UN Security Council resolution on Houthi attacks, sanctions extension

The Arab Parliament has welcomed United Nations Security Council Resolution 2837, which calls on the Houthi militia to immediately and unconditionally halt military escalation and attacks, including assaults on Saudi Arabia, as well as strikes against civilians, civilian infrastructure, commercial airports, and international maritime shipping.

In a statement, the Arab Parliament said the unanimous adoption of the resolution reflects growing international recognition of the dangers posed by Houthi actions and their impact on regional security, stability, and the freedom of international navigation.

The Parliament described the resolution as an important step toward unifying the international stance against terrorist acts and ongoing violations committed by the militia, as well as its threats to regional and international peace and security. It stressed the need to translate these condemnations into concrete and decisive measures to halt attacks and hold those responsible to account.

The Arab Parliament also welcomed the extension of sanctions on entities linked to the militia, describing the move as vital to curbing activities that threaten the security of Yemen and the region. It emphasized the importance of full implementation of these sanctions to ensure their effectiveness.

The Parliament reaffirmed its full support for efforts to enable Yemen's legitimate government to carry out its constitutional duties, preserve Yemen's unity, sovereignty, and territorial integrity, and fulfill the aspirations of its people for security, stability, and development. It stressed that a comprehensive political solution remains the only way to end the Yemeni crisis.
