[00:04:10] Minister Dr. Shaya Mohsen Al-Zindani, that Yemen
[00:04:13] is going through a decisive stage, whose title is the restoration
[00:04:17] of sovereignty over the entire national
[00:04:19] the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandab Strait an Iranian project that does not and international navigation in territory and the overthrow of the Houthi coup, which is financed and managed by
[00:04:23] Iran. The Council of Ministers praised

[00:04:30] Dr. Shaya Mohsen Al-Zindani, the victories achieved
[00:04:34] differentiate in by the Southern Giants Brigades and the Homeland Shield Forces

[00:04:47] militias, which do not Dhubab and strategic sites in its vicinity
[00:04:50] and cutting off the road between Dhubab and Mokha.
[00:04:54] The Council considered that this strategic shift in the most important international
[00:04:58] waterways will deprive the militia of its tool
[00:05:01] for blackmailing international shipping, pointing out that
[00:05:05] what the Houthi militia did by targeting Aden International Airport
[00:05:09] in the areas controlled by the Houthi militias, do not in conjunction with its attacks on airports
[00:05:14] in Saudi Arabia is nothing but a cowardly terrorist
[00:05:17] act by a militia that is collapsing militarily and trying
[00:05:21] to cover up its defeat with the blood of civilians. Dr.
[00:05:25] Al-Zindani said that the militia, having been disrupted
[00:05:28] by the strikes of Yemen Dawn and losing Bab al-Mandab, has moved the battle
[00:05:32] to civilians and civilian facilities in an aggressive
[00:05:35] approach that targeted Yemen and the Kingdom
[00:05:38] and threatens the security of the region and the safety of air
[00:05:42] and sea navigation. He stressed that Houthi terrorism will not change
[00:05:46] the course of the battle and will not stop its advance and will not
[00:05:49] turn back the hands of time, affirming that
[00:05:52] the government is not managing a temporary defensive phase
[00:05:56] and is not waiting for events, but rather leading state
[00:05:59] institutions in a national battle to restore
[00:06:02] its authority. He said,
[00:06:06] the field, and citizens are bearing the consequences of this
[00:06:10] stage, and the government must prove that the state
[00:06:14] working. This is not an ordinary administrative phase,
[00:06:18] and this is a government of the battle to restore state authority,
[00:06:21] and our responsibility is to win as our forces win
[00:06:24] in the fields of heroism, sacrifice,
[00:06:28] and redemption." His Excellency the Prime Minister directed all executive authority agencies
[00:06:32] to move from a reactive approach to proactive action
[00:06:35] and raise readiness to its maximum and provide all
[00:06:39] requirements for the armed forces and military formations,
[00:06:43] and security and popular resistance, and protect residents
[00:06:46] and facilities, and ensure the continuation of services, pointing out that
[00:06:49] this fateful battle is not for
[00:06:52] a front or a city only, but a battle
[00:06:55] to restore state authority and sovereignty, and protect
[00:06:59] Yemen and the region,
[00:07:02] the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandab Strait from Houthi
[00:07:05] Iranian threats. The Council of Ministers approved a draft law regarding
[00:07:09] classifying the Houthi group as a terrorist organization and criminalizing its
[00:07:13] activities and funding, based on the presentation
[00:07:17] submitted by the Minister of Legal Affairs, and directed
[00:07:20] the completion of the necessary constitutional and legal procedures
[00:07:25] the law. The Council of Ministers listened to a briefing from the Minister
[00:07:28] of Defense regarding field developments, the level of
[00:07:31] readiness, and the necessary needs to continue
[00:07:34] operations, and announced its full support for the operation
[00:07:37] and the allocation of all state capabilities to support it,
[00:07:40] and affirmed that any temporary setbacks in some
[00:07:44] fronts are natural for battles and will not affect
[00:07:47] the steadfastness of the national goal, and affirmed that the operation is ongoing
[00:07:51] until the objectives of Yemen Dawn
[00:07:54] territories are liberated, reaching
[00:07:57] a tribute of reverence and respect to the heroes from the Southern Giants
[00:08:01] forces, the Homeland Shield, the army, and the popular
[00:08:04] resistance who wrote heroic epics in Bab al-Mandab
[00:08:08] and other fronts, and mourned the martyrs and wished
[00:08:11] the wounded a speedy recovery. He stressed that the battle is national,
[00:08:15] existential, and comprehensive, requiring political,
[00:08:18] economic, security, humanitarian,
[00:08:21] and media readiness, and that the government will
[00:08:25] dedicate all state institutions to support the fronts, protect
[00:08:27] civilians, and strengthen the resilience of society. The Council praised
[00:08:31] the support of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, its leadership, government,
[00:08:34] and people, and the role of the Coalition to Support Legitimacy in supporting the operations
[00:08:38] of Yemen Dawn, affirming that the two countries represent a security
[00:08:42] system and a common destiny in confronting a cross-border
[00:08:45] threat represented by the Houthi militia,
[00:08:48] supported by Iran, and that their security is
[00:08:51] indivisible. The Council saluted the growing
[00:08:55] popular and tribal support for the battle and considered it an overwhelming
[00:08:58] national will to turn the page on the coup irrevocably.
[00:09:02] He affirmed that the militia's crimes against civilians, foremost among them in
[00:09:05] Taiz Governorate, will not be subject to statutes of limitation
[00:09:09] and their perpetrators will not escape punishment.
[00:09:13] In contrast, he reiterated that the door to returning to the national fold is still
[00:09:17] open to those who were misled under the general amnesty announced
[00:09:20] by His Excellency the President of the Presidential Leadership Council, calling on
[00:09:23] citizens in areas controlled by the militia to refuse to push
[00:09:27] their children as fuel for futile battles that serve
[00:09:32] want security or stability or a state for Yemen.
[00:09:35] Regarding the attack on Aden Airport, the Council
[00:09:38] reviewed an initial report from the Minister of Transport regarding the missile
[00:09:41] attack. The general amnesty announced by His Excellency the President of the
[00:09:45] Presidential Leadership Council, calling on citizens in areas controlled by
[00:09:48] the militia to refuse to push their children as fuel
[00:09:52] for futile battles that serve
[00:09:55] want security or stability or a state for Yemen. Regarding
[00:09:59] the attack on Aden Airport, the Council reviewed
[00:10:02] an initial report from the Minister of Transport regarding the missile
[00:10:05] attack, chaired by the Minister of Youth and Sports. The Council of Ministers
[00:10:09] extended its deepest condolences and sympathy to
[00:10:12] Saudi Arabia, the government of the Kingdom and its brotherly people,
[00:10:16] and to the families of the victims of the cowardly terrorist crime that
[00:10:20] targeted King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, asking
[00:10:23] God to have mercy
[00:10:27] the injured a speedy recovery, affirming that
[00:10:29] what the terrorist Houthi militia committed against safe
[00:10:33] travelers and workers is a full-fledged
[00:10:37] war crime that reveals once again that this group
[00:10:40] does not respect the sanctity of blood or
[00:10:43] the weight of law, and that it is a grave danger to Yemenis and to
[00:10:47] the security of the region and the world. The Council reiterated
[00:10:50] its affirmation that the security of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the security
[00:10:53] of Yemen are linked destinies,
[00:10:57] the Kingdom is an attack on our country and its security and the future of its generations,
[00:11:01] affirming its full support for what His Excellency the President of the Presidential
[00:11:04] Leadership Council announced, to move forward in Operation Yemen
[00:11:08] Dawn until the terrorist threat is ended and state
[00:11:11] institutions are restored, no matter the sacrifices, calling on
[00:11:15] the international community and the Security Council to assume their responsibility
[00:11:19] with a clear condemnation and accountability for those
[00:11:22] responsible for this crime and those who supply them with weapons.
[00:11:25] Lenience with this militia is paid
[00:11:28] for by civilians in Yemen and the region. The Council praised
[00:11:32] the supreme directives of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin
[00:11:35] Abdulaziz Al Saud, in response to the request of His Excellency
[00:11:39] the President of the Presidential Leadership Council to rectify
[00:11:44] the Kingdom by irregular means and grant them
[00:11:53] and sisters, members
[00:11:57] the interim capital, Aden, while our country is going through
[00:12:00] a critical and exceptional stage
[00:12:03] with the continuation of Operation Yemen Dawn which was launched to restore
[00:12:07] state authority and liberate the remaining Yemeni territories
[00:12:10] all the way to the capital, Sana'a.
[00:12:14] What happened with the cowardly terrorist attack on King
[00:12:17] Khalid Airport in Riyadh yesterday confirms
[00:12:20] that the Houthi terrorist militia, in implementation
[00:12:23] of Iran's directives, seeks to kill innocents and destroy vital facilities
[00:12:27] in Yemen and the Kingdom, and does not respect
[00:12:31] the sanctity of civilians or civilian targets,
[00:12:34] and does not value the lives of innocents or international humanitarian
[00:12:37] law, which is a full-fledged terrorist
[00:12:41] crime that must be punished, along with its supporters in
[00:12:44] Iran. Therefore, we call on the international community
[00:12:48] and the Security Council to assume their legal and moral responsibilities
[00:12:52] in this regard and condemn this sinful attack
[00:12:57] the dead and wish a speedy recovery
[00:13:00] to the injured, and we affirm our full support for our brothers
[00:13:03] in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
[00:13:07] supported by the Iranian regime. Brothers and sisters, ministers,
[00:13:10] our valiant heroes in the armed forces, the Southern Giants Brigades,
[00:13:14] the Homeland Shield, and the various military formations
[00:13:18] and popular resistance, with the support of
[00:13:20] the Coalition to Support Legitimacy, led by the Kingdom of Saudi
[00:13:24] Arabia, have made important progress
[00:13:27] on several fronts, foremost of which is controlling the Bab
[00:13:31] al-Mandab Strait and liberating Dhubab and strategic sites
[00:13:35] in its vicinity, and cutting off the road between Dhubab and Mokha, which is
[00:13:38] a strategic shift that deprives
[00:13:41] the terrorist Houthi militias and the Iranian regime of their tool to threaten international
[00:13:44] shipping and the security of the region and the world. And as is the custom
[00:13:48] of the Houthi militias in terrorism and crime, when they feel
[00:13:51] that they are heading towards their demise, they
[00:13:55] escalate by targeting civilian objects and civilians. Therefore,
[00:13:58] they targeted Aden International Airport with rockets
[00:14:01] and drones in conjunction with previous
[00:14:04] attacks on airports and civilian objects in the Kingdom of Saudi
[00:14:08] Arabia. Targeting airports
[00:14:10] and civilians will not change the course of the battle and will not
[00:14:14] stop its advance and will not turn back the hands of time.
[00:14:17] And what happened with temporary complications on some fronts
[00:14:21] is natural for military operations, so our goal is
[00:14:24] fixed, and we are moving forward until the goals
[00:14:27] of Operation Yemen Dawn are fully achieved. Brothers and sisters,
[00:14:30] this fateful battle is not for a front or a city.
[00:14:34] It is a battle to restore state authority and sovereignty
[00:14:38] and protect civilians and secure Yemen and the region
[00:14:44] from Houthi Iranian threats
[00:14:48] and achieve the aspirations of Yemenis for security and stability and building a state
[00:14:51] of law.
[00:14:55] The Houthi terrorist project does not see Yemen as North and South, and does not
[00:14:59] targeting between one governorate and another, and does not recognize
[00:15:03] political pluralism or the right of Yemenis to choose
[00:15:05] their future. What happened at Aden International Airport is another message
[00:15:09] to everyone about the nature of the Houthi
[00:15:12] hesitate to endanger the lives of civilians and civil
[00:15:15] aviation. We salute the popular and tribal support for this
[00:15:19] fateful battle, for the people's support for their political leadership and the heroes of the armed
[00:15:23] forces is a pillar for the state's victory over terrorism and its militias,
[00:15:27] and this heralds the irreversible end of the Houthi
[00:15:30] coup. And I swear to God that
[00:15:34] allow your children to be used as fuel for
[00:15:37] futile battles that serve an Iranian project that does not want
[00:15:41] security, stability, or a state for Yemen. Brothers and sisters,
[00:15:45] what our country is going through today is not an ordinary administrative
[00:15:48] phase, and the government, as it fights the battle to restore
[00:15:51] the territories controlled by the terrorist Houthi
[00:15:54] militia and extend its influence over the entire national
[00:15:57] territory and achieve its sovereignty, will work to harness all resources
[00:16:01] and capabilities to achieve these goals.
[00:16:04] We highly appreciate what
[00:16:07] our country is going through today is not an ordinary administrative phase,
[00:16:11] and the government, as it fights the battle to restore the territories controlled by
[00:16:15] the terrorist Houthi militia and extend its influence over the entire
[00:16:19] national territory and achieve its sovereignty, will work to
[00:16:22] harness all resources and capabilities to achieve
[00:16:25] these goals. We highly appreciate
[00:16:28] the directives. The official spokesman for
[00:16:31] the Coalition to Support Legitimacy in Yemen, Major General
[00:16:35] Turki Al-Maliki, announced that the air defense
[00:16:38] intercepted and destroyed a cruise missile in the vicinity of King Khalid
[00:16:42] International Airport. Al-Maliki also stated in tweets on the X platform
[00:16:45] that an attack occurred with an unknown projectile
[00:16:48] on passenger terminal number four
[00:16:51] at King Khalid International Airport, resulting in a fire,
[00:16:54] and the site is being directly investigated by the competent
[00:16:58] authorities.
[00:17:01] The House of Representatives condemned
[00:17:04] with grave concern and strong denunciation the repeated
[00:17:07] attacks by the terrorist Houthi militias that targeted
[00:17:10] King Khalid International Airport in the Saudi capital, Riyadh,
[00:17:14] and other civilian facilities and objects, and the resulting casualties
[00:17:17] and injuries and disruption of travel and interests,
[00:17:21] in a flagrant violation of the rules of international
[00:17:25] law and international humanitarian law. The House of Representatives
[00:17:28] affirmed in a statement issued by it that targeting
[00:17:32] civilian facilities
[00:17:35] does not only threaten the security of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, but also affects
[00:17:39] the security and stability of the region and poses a threat to international
[00:17:42] peace and security, which requires the international community
[00:17:46] to take a firm stance that goes beyond condemnation to taking
[00:17:49] effective measures to deter these attacks and hold
[00:17:53] those responsible for them accountable. It reiterated its full solidarity with the Kingdom's leadership,
[00:17:57] government, and people, pointing out that the security and stability
[00:18:00] of the Kingdom are a fundamental pillar for the security of Yemen and the Arab
[00:18:04] region, and that any threat to the land of the Two Holy Mosques
[00:18:07] and the holy sites of Muslims affects the conscience of the entire
[00:18:11] Islamic nation and calls for its solidarity in
[00:18:14] confronting everything that targets its sanctity or threatens its stability.
[00:18:17] The House of Representatives expressed its sincere condolences
[00:18:21] to the families of the victims and its wishes for a speedy recovery
[00:18:24] to the injured, reiterating its stand by the Kingdom in
[00:18:27] confronting everything that affects its security
[00:18:30] and sovereignty.
[00:18:33] For its part, our country's government expressed its full
[00:18:37] solidarity and steadfast support for the brotherly Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,
[00:18:41] its leadership, government, and people, and condemned in the strongest
[00:18:44] terms the terrorist attack that targeted King Khalid
[00:18:48] International Airport in the capital Riyadh, in a serious
[00:18:51] and hostile escalation that embodies the determination of the terrorist
[00:18:54] Houthi militia to threaten the security of the Kingdom and target civilian
[00:18:57] facilities and endanger the lives of civilians.
[00:19:00] A statement issued by the Council of Ministers affirmed that
[00:19:04] targeting airports and civilian facilities
[00:19:07] is an unacceptable attack on the security and stability of states and a violation
[00:19:11] of international rules and laws and reveals once again the
[00:19:15] aggressive nature
[00:19:18] hesitate to expand its circle of threats
[00:19:21] and strike at the foundations of security and stability in the region, serving
[00:19:25] the Iranian agenda and its subversive projects. The statement
[00:19:29] stressed that the security of the Kingdom
[00:19:32] part of the security of Yemen and the region, and any targeting
[00:19:35] of its territories or civilian facilities is
[00:19:40] security and stability and freedom of movement and the safety
[00:19:43] of air navigation. The Yemeni government reiterated
[00:19:46] its appreciation for the pivotal role played by the Kingdom
[00:19:49] of Saudi Arabia, led by the Custodian of the Two Holy
[00:19:52] Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud,
[00:19:56] and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, President of the Council of Ministers, Prince Mohammed
[00:20:00] bin Salman, in supporting Yemen and its legitimate leadership
[00:20:02] and supporting its people in restoring its state and institutions
[00:20:06] and enhancing the region's security and stability.
[00:20:08] It stressed that these attacks will not
[00:20:12] deter Yemenis from restoring state authority over
[00:20:16] the entire national territory and ending the Houthi coup, and that
[00:20:19] confronting this danger requires a responsible international
[00:20:23] stance that goes beyond statements of condemnation to practical
[00:20:26] measures that ensure the protection of civilians and the preservation of the region's
[00:20:30] security and stability.
[00:20:34] The Presidency of the Shura Council and its members
[00:20:38] condemned the Houthi attack that targeted King Khalid International
