Al-Jubeir also said that "We express our condemnation of the US recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, and we commend the international consensus to reject this recognition." Al-Jubeir stressed that extremism and terrorism are a threat to our countries and peoples and must be dealt with firmly, pointing out that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia does not accept nor tolerate terrorism and Iranian interference in our region, stressing that there is no peace and stability in the region as long as Iran interferes in the internal affairs of the Arab countries. Al-Jubeir said that Iran is supplying the Houthi militia in Yemen with Iranian-made ballistic missiles where 117 of which were launched by Houthi militia on Saudi cities, stressing that this act reflects Iran's adoption of all terrorism acts that destabilize security and stability in Yemen. He also said that we support the efforts exerted in this regard by the United Nations in implementation of Security Council Resolution No. 2216 in accordance with the GCC Initiative and the outcomes of the Yemeni national dialogue. Al-Jubeir pointed out that Houthi terrorist militia is fully responsible for the humanitarian crisis in Yemen, adding that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has supported the humanitarian, development, government programs as well as the Central Bank in Yemen with more than $10 billion during the last three years.
