Saudi Arabia and Kuwait have issued strong condemnations against Houthi attacks that pose threats to regional security and stability. This comes after a telephone conversation on Tuesday between Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan and Kuwaiti Foreign Minister Sheikh Jarrah Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah, during which they discussed the ongoing security concerns linked to the Houthi movement in Yemen.
The ministers expressed alarm over attacks targeting civilian areas and critical infrastructure, emphasizing the potential risks these actions pose to public safety and regional stability. Saudi Arabia has recently experienced an increase in such attacks, with airports, energy facilities, and civilian locations reportedly being among the targets.
Both nations are part of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), which also includes the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Oman, and Bahrain. The GCC has been consistent in advocating for cooperation among its members to address and mitigate regional security threats.
This latest diplomatic engagement underscores the ongoing efforts by Gulf countries to coordinate their responses to cross-border hostilities and enhance the protection of civilian infrastructure. These efforts take place against a backdrop of heightened regional tensions involving Iran, the United States, and Israel.
