Cairo, Oct. 6 (Petra) - The Arab Parliament and the Arab League denounced the Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia's Jizan and Najran airports on Tuesday that caused injuries and material damage.
Arab Parliament President Mohammed Yamahi said the pan-Arab organization stands in solidarity with Saudi Arabia and supports measures taken to protect its security and poeple. He urged the international community to hold the perpetrators accountable and support regional stability.
The Arab League decried the attempted strikes targeting Mecca and Medina, calling attacks on Islamic holy sites a "dangerous provocation to Muslims worldwide." The league noted that targeting civilian aviation infrastructure violates Saudi sovereignty, international law, and the UN Charter.
The organization warned that continued escalation prolongs the Yemeni crisis and threatens neighboring countries as well as international waterways.
Pledging support for Yemen’s legitimate government, the Arab League called for a comprehensive political settlement that preserves Yemen’s sovereignty, unity, and territorial integrity.
