The Council welcomed the solidarity of states and regional and international organizations with the United Arab Emirates, and its condemnation of the attacks committed by the Houthi militia against civilian areas and facilities as a cowardly and sinful terrorist attack.
He stressed that these terrorist attacks committed by the terrorist Houthi militia constitute a flagrant violation of international law and international humanitarian law, and are a real threat to vital civilian facilities, energy supplies and the stability of the global economy. They also constitute a threat to regional peace and security, undermine Arab national security, harm international peace and security, and pose a threat to International commercial shipping lines.

He stressed the need for the international community to stand united in the face of this sinful terrorist act that threatens regional and international peace and stability, and to take immediate and decisive measures to deter the Houthi militias and deter them to stop their repeated criminal acts in Yemen and the region.
The Council called on the United Nations and the Security Council to assume their responsibilities and take a decisive and unified stance against the Houthi attacks on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, and to deter and confront the ongoing atrocities committed by the Houthi militia against civilians and their deliberate obstruction of the delivery of aid and humanitarian supplies and the confiscation of food.
