On events in Yemen, Salam said, "The political conflicts in Yemen instigated by external interventions, led to the emergence of a state of security and political chaos and is now threatening not only Yemen's unity as a nation and the state of Yemen as a political entity, but now constitutes a real threat to security in this strategic Arab region." The Lebanese Premier also added, "Due to this fact, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was committed to answering the appeal of Yemeni President Abd Rabbo Mansour Hadi, and leading an Arab and Islamic military alliance to prevent the aggravation of this danger, and to strengthen the legitimacy and returning the situations in Yemen to their previous normalcy.
