His Excellency Mr Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi, Secretary General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), condemned in the strongest possible terms the terrorist drone attack carried out by the terrorist Houthi militia targeting an electricity distribution station in Madinah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which provides services to the Prophet’s Mosque and civilian facilities in the city.
His Excellency stressed that this heinous Houthi attack has crossed all red lines, represents a blatant provocation to the sentiments of Muslims across the world, and constitutes a grave escalation in violating the sanctity of Islamic holy sites. He pointed out that it exposes an aggressive approach that disregards religious and humanitarian values as well as international laws and norms, particularly in light of repeated attempts to target the Two Holy Mosques and their surrounding areas.
His Excellency the Secretary General concluded his statement by underscoring the GCC member states' steadfast and unwavering stance alongside the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and their full solidarity in confronting anything that threatens its security, stability, and sovereignty. He reiterated complete support for all measures taken by the Kingdom to protect its territory, citizens, residents, and pilgrims, emphasising that the security of the Kingdom and its holy sites is an integral part of the collective security of the GCC, and that any threat to the Kingdom constitutes a threat to the security of all GCC member states.
