  "account": "Jordan, Egypt, Kuwait, Bahrain, and the Arab League have jointly condemned the ongoing missile and drone attacks by the Houthi militia on Saudi Arabia, reaffirming their support for the Kingdom and the measures it has implemented to safeguard its security and sovereignty. On Thursday, Jordan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed strong condemnation of the continuous attacks, most recently involving two ballistic missiles launched towards the Makkah region, as well as missiles and drones targeting Riyadh and other parts of the Kingdom. The ministry described these acts as blatant breaches of Saudi sovereignty, international law, and the UN Charter, reiterating Jordan's firm rejection of any attacks targeting civilians and civilian or economic infrastructure, emphasizing full solidarity with Saudi Arabia and support for its defense efforts. The Arab League also vehemently condemned the Houthi missile, cruise missile, and drone launches towards Makkah, Riyadh, and Saudi Arabia's eastern and southern regions, calling the attacks a dangerous escalation that jeopardizes the Kingdom's security and civilian lives. The League stressed that such actions violate Saudi sovereignty and territorial integrity, international law, and the UN Charter, infringing upon the sanctity of religious sites and provoking Muslim communities globally. The League praised Saudi air defenses for successfully intercepting and neutralizing the attacks and reiterated its support for the Kingdom's legitimate security measures, urging the international community, especially the UN Security Council, to enforce relevant resolutions, including 2216 (2015) and 2817 (2026). Egypt's Ministry of Foreign Affairs similarly condemned the ongoing attacks on Saudi territory, specifically mentioning the recent ballistic missile and drone strikes towards Makkah, labeling them as clear violations of Saudi sovereignty, international law, and the UN Charter. Egypt warned that these attacks directly endanger civilians and civilian, as well as economic facilities, and undermine regional stability. The ministry reaffirmed Egypt's full solidarity with Saudi Arabia and its support for all measures taken to protect the Kingdom's security, sovereignty, territorial integrity, and national assets, asserting that the security of the Kingdom is a cornerstone of Egyptian and Arab national security. Kuwait's Ministry of Foreign Affairs also denounced the continuous Houthi attacks using various ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones against multiple Saudi regions, describing them as repeated terrorist acts that contravene Saudi sovereignty, international law, and humanitarian law. Kuwait rejected these attacks, warning that they endanger civilian safety and destabilize the region. Kuwait reaffirmed its full support for Saudi Arabia and its commitment to measures aimed at preserving the Kingdom's sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity, emphasizing that the security of the GCC states, including Kuwait, is intertwined with that of Saudi Arabia. Bahrain's Ministry of Foreign Affairs similarly strongly condemned the ongoing Houthi attacks, which included ballistic missiles and drones directed at Makkah, Riyadh, and Saudi Arabia's eastern and southern areas. The ministry described the attacks as a dangerous escalation following the earlier targeting of Madinah, where missile fragments landed in populated areas. Bahrain stressed that these attacks contravene Saudi sovereignty, international law, and humanitarian law, endanger civilian lives, and infringe upon the sanctity of Islamic holy sites. The ministry commended Saudi air defenses for their role in intercepting the attacks and reaffirmed Bahrain's unwavering solidarity with Saudi Arabia and support for its security, sovereignty, and the protection of its citizens and residents. Bahrain also stressed the Kingdom's right to self-defense under Article 51 of the UN Charter, urging the UN Security Council to take decisive action to halt repeated Houthi attacks, prevent the targeting of religious and civilian sites, hold perpetrators accountable, and enforce relevant Security Council resolutions.",
