Al-Wasil emphasized that the escalation jeopardizes not only Saudi Arabia's security and national assets but also international trade in the region.\n\nThe Saudi Permanent Representative called on the Security Council to uphold its responsibility to maintain international peace and security by taking a clear and decisive stance against the attacks. He also urged full implementation of relevant Security Council resolutions and an end to all support enabling the Houthis to continue their attacks, which threaten regional security and vital maritime routes.\n\nAl-Wasil reaffirmed Saudi Arabia's right to defend itself and protect its security, sovereignty, and citizens in line with the UN Charter and international law. He reiterated the Kingdom's support for Yemen's unity, sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity while emphasizing Saudi Arabia's commitment to a comprehensive and sustainable Yemeni-led political solution that ensures security and stability for the Yemeni people.",
