Saudi Arabia on Sunday condemned in the strongest terms extremist remarks made by an Israeli government minister regarding dropping a nuclear bomb on the besieged Gaza Strip.

The Kingdom's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said such remarks show the level of “extremism and brutality among members of the Israeli government.”

“Not dismissing the minister immediately and only freezing his membership constitutes the utmost disregard for all human standards and values,” it added.

Saudi Arabia welcomed on Wednesday the agreement announced by the United Nations Secretary-General's Special Envoy to Yemen, Hans Grundberg, between the Yemeni government and the Houthi group.
The agreement was reached on Tuesday between the legitimate Yemeni government and Iran-backed Houthi militias to de-escalate the situation with regard to the Yemeni banking sector and the national airlines, Yemenia.
The Saudi foreign Ministry stressed Riyadh’s unwavering support for Yemen, its government and people, expressing keenness on de-escalation.
In a statement on its X account on Wednesday, the Ministry said it looks forward to the Yemeni parties sitting for dialogue under the patronage of the UN envoy's office to discuss all economic and humanitarian issues in the hopes of paving the way for a comprehensive political solution for the Yemeni crisis.
