Arab Parliament welcomes UN resolution demanding immediate halt to Houthi attacks

CAIRO — The Arab Parliament has welcomed UN Security Council Resolution 2837, which demands that the Houthi militia immediately halt its military escalation and attacks, including those targeting Saudi Arabia, civilians, commercial airports and international maritime transport. In a statement issued on Friday, the parliament said the resolution’s unanimous adoption reflects growing international recognition of the seriousness of Houthi activities and their implications for regional security, stability and freedom of international navigation. The parliament described the resolution as an important step toward unifying international opposition to the militia’s terrorist acts and continued violations. It stressed the need to translate international condemnations into decisive, practical measures to halt the attacks and hold those responsible accountable. The parliament also welcomed the extension of the sanctions regime imposed on entities linked to the Houthi militia, to prevent activities threatening the security and stability of Yemen and the wider region. It reaffirmed its support for efforts to enable Yemen’s legitimate government to exercise its constitutional responsibilities, preserve the country’s unity, sovereignty and territorial integrity, and fulfill the Yemeni people’s aspirations for security, stability, peace and development. The Arab Parliament stressed that a comprehensive political solution remains the only path to ending the Yemeni crisis.
