Yemen Ministry Responds to Oman Mufti on Mecca Threat
The Ministry of Awqaf in the internationally recognized Yemeni government responded to statements by Omani Grand Mufti Ahmed al-Khalili, which it considered to be support for the Iran-backed Houthi group in Yemen. The ministry affirmed that the Mufti overlooked the causes of the conflict, including the Houthis' 2004 rebellion against state institutions and their occupation of Sanaa in 2014. It described his remarks as misleading to public opinion and neglectful of the Houthis’ crimes, which have resulted in the death and injury of over 500,000 Yemenis and the destruction of the country. The ministry called on the Mufti to reconsider his stance and to consider the humanitarian situation, emphasizing that the Houthis do not protect holy sites; rather, they have targeted houses of worship and mosques, and supporting them only bolsters Iran’s regional project.
