Saudi Arabia rejects Houthis' blockade claims
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has rejected the accusations made by the military spokesperson of the Houthis, who claimed that Saudi Arabia is besieging the Yemeni people and threatening maritime navigation. The Kingdom emphasized that it has been working with the legitimate Yemeni government for years to alleviate the suffering of Yemenis, providing support for developmental projects and facilitating the passage of more than 300 vessels carrying aid during the first half of the year. It also highlighted its support for UN-led peace efforts in Yemen, despite the Houthis' ongoing conflict and their support for hostile objectives, which further worsens the suffering of the Yemeni people. Saudi Arabia affirmed that it will take the necessary measures to protect its ships in accordance with international law and called on the international community to implement relevant Security Council resolutions, foremost among them Resolution 2216 and the resolution on navigation rights in the Red Sea.
