“Following its review of regional developments, the Cabinet affirmed the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s full support for the Presidential Leadership Council, the legitimate government, and the brotherly Yemeni people, with the aim of ending the coup in this dear country and restoring the state and its institutions from the terrorist Houthi militia, which has chosen military escalation as an alternative approach to peace, further deepening the humanitarian and economic suffering of Yemen and its brotherly people, while continuing to threaten the region and maritime navigation in the southern Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandab Strait,” SPA stated.
