The Secretary-General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, Hissein Brahim Taha, categorically condemned the threats issued by the terrorist Houthi militia against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the danger they pose to the security of maritime navigation and the freedom of international trade.

Taha affirmed that the statements issued by the military spokesman of the terrorist Houthi militia cannot be accepted or justified in any way, stressing that the continuous threat to maritime navigation constitutes a grave danger to regional and international security.

He pointed out that these threats are part of a series of attacks and false allegations launched by the Houthi militia against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the latest of which was the attack targeting the southern region, in addition to the repeated threats affecting maritime navigation.

The Secretary-General renewed the full solidarity of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and its standing alongside the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in all measures it takes to preserve its security and stability, recalling the strenuous efforts made by the Kingdom to achieve peace, security, and stability in Yemen, along with generous humanitarian and relief aid, and development projects it has completed for the benefit of the Yemeni people.

Taha called for the implementation of United Nations Security Council resolutions concerning Yemen, and ensuring the rights and freedom of navigation in the Red Sea.
