Riyadh, May 22, 2019, SPA -- Saudi newspapers highlighted in their editorials today a number of issues at local, regional and international arenas. Al-Youm newspaper in its editorial entitled ''Houthis escalation is a regional and international threat'' wrote that there is no doubt that the escalation of the Houthi militias to their repeated attacks, the most recent one in launching of a ballistic missile on the territory of the Kingdom is a threat not only to the security of the countries of the region but also to the security of the countries of the world as a whole, calling on the international community to stop those terrorist militias who derive their strength from the Iranian regime. Okaz newspaper in its editorial on the Iranian regime wrote that the US administration denied the pursuit of negotiations, which Rowhani and his Mullahs try to promote by declaring rejection of these negotiations. --SPA 11:23 LOCAL TIME 08:23 GMT 0002 www.spa.gov.sa/w1106557
