'Flagrant violation of int'l law': World leaders rally behind Riyadh after Houthi airport strike
"We may. We're going to look at it. We just found out about the recent attack, so we'll make a decision," US President Donald Trump said. "We move very quickly."
World leaders have united to condemn the recent Houthi attack on Riyadh's international airport, which resulted in at least 12 deaths and over 300 injuries. Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif called the actions a "flagrant violation of international law" and pledged unwavering support for Saudi Arabia, its leadership, and people.
Turkey, Turkey, and Qatar also expressed their solidarity with Saudi Arabia and denounced the strikes, which targeted civilians and civilian infrastructure. Jordan, Malaysia, and Canada joined the chorus of condemnation, along with US President Donald Trump, who suggested the possibility of joining Saudi retaliation against the Houthis.
The UN Secretary-General António Guterres strongly condemned the attacks, stating they demonstrate a "blatant disregard for innocent civilian life" and urging an immediate end to the strikes. The security of Saudi Arabia and Yemen are intertwined, and any attack on Saudi Arabia is seen as an attack on the security and interests of all parties involved.
