Arab Parliament Welcomes UN Resolution to Halt Houthi Attacks on Saudi Arabia

The Arab Parliament has welcomed the unanimous adoption of United Nations Security Council Resolution 2837, calling for an immediate and unconditional end to Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia, civilians, commercial airports and international maritime transport.

According to the Saudi Press Agency (SPA), the Arab Parliament said the resolution reflects growing international recognition of the serious threats posed by the Houthi militia to regional security, stability and freedom of international navigation.

In a statement, the Parliament welcomed the Security Council’s demand that the Houthis immediately halt their military escalation and attacks, particularly those targeting the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, civilian infrastructure and international shipping routes.

The Parliament described the unanimous adoption of the resolution as an important step towards strengthening international unity against the militia’s terrorist activities and continued violations.

It stressed that international condemnation must be followed by practical and decisive measures to stop the attacks and ensure accountability for those responsible.

The Arab Parliament also welcomed the extension of sanctions against entities linked to the Houthi militia, describing the move as essential to weakening activities that threaten Yemen and the wider region.

It emphasised that the sanctions must be fully implemented to achieve their intended objectives and prevent further threats to regional and international peace.

Reaffirming its support for Yemen’s legitimate government, the Parliament stressed the importance of enabling the government to fulfil its constitutional responsibilities while safeguarding the country’s unity, sovereignty and territorial integrity.

The Parliament also reiterated its commitment to supporting the Yemeni people’s aspirations for peace, security, stability and development.

Despite its strong condemnation of Houthi attacks, the Arab Parliament maintained that a comprehensive political settlement remains the only viable solution to ending Yemen’s prolonged crisis.

The statement comes amid concerns over Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia and threats to civilian infrastructure and international maritime security.
