Saudi Arabia strongly condemned on Monday the statements made by the so-called military spokesman of the terrorist Houthi militia, accusing the Kingdom of imposing a siege on the brotherly Yemeni people, along with threats to ban maritime navigation for the Kingdom, affirming that it will take all necessary measures to protect its ships in accordance with international law and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, according to a Foreign Ministry statement.

300 ships to support Yemen in the first half

The Saudi statement explained that the ports of Hodeidah, Salif, and Ras Isa received during the first half of 2026 more than 300 ships loaded with food supplies, goods, fuel, and construction materials, while continuing to implement Security Council Resolution 2216, which stipulates preventing the entry of weapons and ammunition that the Houthi militia attempts to bring into Yemen.

Houthi responsibility for exacerbating the economic and humanitarian crisis

Saudi Arabia recalled the Houthi militia's record of targeting the Yemeni people and infrastructure, referring to the attack on Aden Airport on December 30, 2020, and the targeting of oil export ports in southern Yemen on October 21, 2022, which disrupted oil exports that account for about 60% of the Yemeni government's revenues, affecting its ability to pay salaries and finance basic services.

It added that the militia confiscated 4 aircraft belonging to Yemenia Airways after transporting Yemeni pilgrims from Jeddah to Sanaa Airport, and rejected all initiatives aimed at resuming civilian flights, including the Jordanian initiative, despite the Yemeni government's approval, considering that these practices contributed to deepening the suffering of citizens, in addition to targeting commercial ships in the Red Sea and ongoing humanitarian violations against civilians.

The Kingdom affirmed that the Yemeni ports under Houthi control remained open for the entry of goods, food supplies, medicine, and petroleum derivatives, and that Sanaa Airport was operating for civilian flights via Yemenia Airways, stressing that what the militia promotes regarding a siege is not based on facts.

Support for peace and implementation of Security Council resolutions

The Saudi Foreign Ministry reiterated its affirmation that Saudi Arabia's position focuses on achieving peace in Yemen and ending the suffering of the Yemeni people, pointing to its continued support for UN efforts, including the roadmap approved by the Yemeni government, while the terrorist Houthi militia refrained from announcing its acceptance and engaged in regional conflicts that doubled the suffering of Yemenis in areas under its control.

The terrorist militia's rejection of all initiatives

The terrorist Houthi militia's rejection of the initiatives presented by the legitimate government to alleviate the suffering of the people confirms that its demands to lift the so-called siege were only part of its rhetoric aimed at dragging the Yemeni people into adventures that serve only foreign projects, instead of engaging in responsible steps that enhance peace opportunities.

The terrorist militia also rejected initiatives to open Sanaa Airport to ensure alleviating the suffering of Yemeni citizens by operating regular flights between Sanaa and the Jordanian capital Amman, as is the case in other Yemeni airports under state administration, but the militia insisted on disrupting the national carrier, in a step aimed at strangling and besieging the people and exacerbating their suffering.
