No: 142, 22 July 2026, Regarding the Houthi Threats to Impose a Naval Blockade Against Saudi Arabia

We condemn the Houthi threats to impose a naval blockade against Saudi Arabia and once again reaffirm our solidarity with Saudi Arabia.

Actions and threats that endanger maritime security and freedom of navigation in the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandab Strait, while targeting maritime transport and global trade must be immediately halted.

We reiterate our call for refraining from any conduct that could further escalate the existing tensions in the region.
