International condemnation of Houthis no longer sufficient, according to a senior Yemeni official. In a recent statement posted on X, Vice President of Yemen’s Presidential Leadership Council Abdullah al-Alimi Bawazir emphasized that merely expressing disapproval of Houthi attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure is no longer enough. He argued that the international community must now take decisive action to hold the perpetrators accountable and deter future acts of terrorism.

Bawazir specifically mentioned the alleged Houthi attack on the Saudi capital of Riyadh's airport as a "terrorist crime" that demands a more robust regional and international response. He called for measures that go beyond mere denunciations and instead focus on ending impunity for the perpetrators.

The Yemeni official expressed full solidarity with Saudi Arabia, acknowledging its crucial role in safeguarding regional security and international navigation. He further highlighted the Yemeni government's commitment to protecting the Yemeni people and upholding the nation's interests.
