Kuwait has condemned in the "strongest words possible", a Houthi attack on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabias oil facilities, pledging full support for security measures assumed by the Kingdom. The remarks were delivered in a speech by the Kuwaiti permanent UN missions Acting Charge dAffaires Bader Al-Menaikh at a Security Council session on Yemen, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported. The continuing Houthi groups attacks on Saudi territory represent a "clear and direct threat" to regional security and stability, he said, mentioning this necessitates enacting relevant Security Council weapon ban resolutions. He praised the "pivotal role" assumed by the UN inspectors deployed to monitor the implementation of the Stockholm agreement, and the subsequent Houthi withdrawal from the strategic port of Hodeidah, Al-Saleef and Ras Issa. Despite this, he expressed disappointment as regards the developments over the agreement, explaining that, up to this point, it has "not achieved its intended goals". For instance, the city of Taiz , in the southwest has remained besieged for four years now, as civilians there suffer without the situation being resolved, he said. According to SPA, he also lamented challenges faced by the committee tasked with overseeing the prisoner swap deal. Kuwait went on to reiterate its praise of the UN special envoy to Yemens efforts on the crisis, underlining that the "ideal solution" was the complete implementation of the three-point agreement and the ruling out of a military option. This would enable focusing on matters related to ending the crisis and adopting the Gulf Cooperation Council initiative and steps for national dialogue, he said.
