CAIRO — The Arab Parliament has expressed its approval for UN Security Council Resolution 2837, which calls for an immediate cessation of Houthi military escalations and attacks, including those aimed at Saudi Arabia, civilians, commercial airports, and international maritime transport. On Friday, the parliament announced that the unanimous adoption of the resolution signifies the increasing global acknowledgment of the gravity of Houthi actions and their impact on regional security, stability, and freedom of international navigation.
