The Saudi Cabinet affirmed on Tuesday that the Houthi militia will face consequences for its repeated attacks on the Kingdom's airports, the holy cities of Mecca and Medina, civilian and economic assets, and infrastructure. The Cabinet expressed its condolences to the families of the victims and wished the injured a speedy recovery from these attacks.
In its statement, the Cabinet, chaired by Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman, during its meeting in Riyadh, stressed the role of the armed forces in defending the Kingdom, protecting its sovereignty, and safeguarding its national resources. The Cabinet emphasized the necessity of deterring any aggression or threat to the security of the Kingdom and the safety of its citizens and residents.
The Cabinet praised the military operations carried out by the coalition supporting legitimacy in Yemen, noting that they aim to neutralize the threat posed by the Houthi militia to the Yemeni people, international security and peace, global trade, and supply chains. It affirmed that the Kingdom will not allow threats to its security or freedom of navigation in the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandab strait.
On the economic front, the Cabinet commended the resumption of oil flows through the East-West pipeline, considering the rapid recovery as a reflection of the resilience of the Saudi energy system and its ability to handle emergency situations. It pointed out that this enhances the reliability and continuity of supplies to international markets.
Earlier, on Monday, Saudi Minister of Media Salman bin Yousef Al-Dosari condemned the Houthi militia's attacks on civilians, civilian assets, and vital facilities in the Kingdom. He affirmed that Saudi Arabia is steadfast in protecting its security and preserving its resources, and that these attacks will only strengthen its resolve, unity, and determination to continue its path of construction and development.
