The foreign ministers of the member states of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) condemned the terrorist attacks against UAE and Saudi Arabia, welcoming UN Security Council resolution which declared the Houthi group as a terrorist organisation.

The OIC has also expressed their solidarity with the Yemeni people, calling for an immediate cessation of attacks targeting the civilians, violence against children, their recruitment and exploitation and the use of landmines. They also called on the removal of obstacles to the delivery of humanitarian assistance to the Yemeni people.

The OIC declaration entitled “Partnership for Unity, Justice and Development” also expressed their concern about the intensification of geopolitical competition, the race armaments, the humanitarian and climate crises and the social and economic inequalities with their negative effects on peoples and the global political, security and economic system, it was reported.

Meanwhile, the Arab Parliament strongly condemned the Houthi militia’s aggressive attack with two booby-trapped boats against oil tankers that crossed Bab-el-Mandeb Strait in the Red Sea.

In a statement issued today, the Arab Parliament warned of the danger of the Houthi terrorist attacks against oil tankers, as they target energy sources, especially in light of the turmoil in global oil markets as a result of global events.

It called on the international community to play its role and act immediately to prevent any shortage of energy supplies at the global level, citing the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s warning that the Houthi militias attacks targeting its oil facilities constitute a threat to oil supplies in global markets.

Meanwhile, the Secretary-General of Arab League (AL) Ahmed Aboul Gheit expressed great concern that the crises of the Arab region would be forgotten or ignored in light of the current tense international situation.

In his speech yesterday before the Security Council on cooperation between the Security Council and the Arab League, Aboul Gheit cautioned that these crises will not find their way to a solution on their own, but rather this international situation may inflame and complicate them further.

Gheit pointed out that in Yemen, the Houthi militia is still rejecting the principle of negotiation and a political settlement of the crisis, and instead, it used to resort to threatening its neighbours with drones and ballistic missiles, praising in this regard the Security Council Resolution 2624, which was adopted and imposed more sanctions on Houthi militia, with designate it as a terrorist organization.
