Chairman of Yemen’s Presidential Leadership Council Dr. Rashad Mohammed Al-Alimi stressed that Saudi Arabia’s latest grant to his country reflects its continued support of Yemen and its people. 

Saudi Arabia provided Yemen with an urgent grant of oil derivatives worth $150 million to cover the operation of power plants running on diesel fuel and mazout throughout the country. 

Al-Alimi said the support, provided under the leadership of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, demonstrates the Kingdom’s commitment to supporting the aspirations of Yemenis for security, stability, and development. 

Al-Alimi expressed his gratitude to the Saudi leadership, government, and people for the grant aimed at operating power plants and alleviating the suffering of the Yemeni people. 

The Yemeni government welcomed the grant, saying it reflects the deep historical ties and shared destiny between Saudi Arabia and Yemen, reported the Saba news agency. 

It also underscores the Kingdom’s commitment to supporting the Yemeni people and alleviating their humanitarian and economic suffering. 

The government stressed that Saudi Arabia’s sincere positions toward Yemen have not been limited to humanitarian and relief aspects but have also extended to supporting development, stability, and economic reform efforts, as well as strengthening the capacity of state institutions to meet obligations toward citizens.  

This reflects Saudi Arabia’s pivotal role in supporting Yemen’s security and stability, it added. 

It praised the vital role played by the Saudi Development and Reconstruction Program for Yemen (SDRPY) in implementing strategic, service, and development projects across various sectors, describing the program as an effective model of sustainable fraternal and development partnership.

The Saudi government hailed on Tuesday the Makkah Joint Defense Agreement for reaffirming “the deep-rooted historical ties” between the Kingdom, Türkiye and Pakistan.

It also underscored their “shared commitment to strengthening the bonds of brotherhood and Islamic solidarity while advancing their common strategic interests.”

Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud chaired the Cabinet session that was held in Jeddah.

King Salman expressed his gratitude to Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan; and Pakistan’s Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif for their successful and blessed efforts in convening the summit last week.

King Salman praised the outcomes of the tripartite summit in establishing a framework for a long-term defense partnership that will contribute to strengthening joint cooperation, coordination, and integration between the Kingdom, Türkiye, and Pakistan.

It will help in continuing efforts to address regional challenges and preserve international security and stability in a manner that supports the aspirations of the peoples of the region and the wider international community for a more prosperous and flourishing future.

The Cabinet was then briefed on the message received by King Salman from President of Zimbabwe Emmerson Mnangagwa, as well as the phone calls between Crown Prince Mohammed and French President Emmanuel Macron and Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

The Cabinet reviewed regional and international developments and Saudi Arabia’s efforts, through communication and coordination with brotherly and friendly countries, to support de-escalation in the region, advance diplomatic solutions, and strengthen all initiatives that respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of states and ensure the security of waterways in the straits of Hormuz and Bab al-Mandeb as they are fundamental pillars of global economic stability.

The Cabinet welcomed the United Nations Security Council statement condemning the attacks and criminal acts committed by the terrorist Houthi militias in Yemen that threaten regional security and freedom of maritime navigation.

It reiterated Saudi Arabia's right to defend its security and resources and its unwavering support for the legitimate Yemeni government and UN-led efforts to achieve peace and stability in Yemen.

The Cabinet commended the steps taken at the Ministerial Meeting in Support of Jerusalem and its Holy Sites in Amman, reaffirming its categorical rejection of all attempts to alter the legal and historical status of Jerusalem or undermine its identity.

It called on the international community to halt Israeli violations in Gaza and the West Bank, protect holy sites, and support the Palestinian people.

The Cabinet noted Riyadh's hosting of the fourth UNESCO Global Forum on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence in September, saying it reflects the Kingdom's commitment to multi-party global dialogue on emerging technologies and responsible AI use, contributing to a more inclusive and sustainable digital future.

The Cabinet also viewed the Kingdom's successful hosting of the International Nuclear Science Olympiad and Saudi students' top results in the competition as confirmation of its global leadership in scientific events and its commitment to empowering talented individuals in line with Saudi Vision 2030.

Saudi Arabia condemned on Tuesday Colombia’s recognition of Israel’s sovereignty over the occupied Syrian Golan Heights, describing the move as contrary to international law and relevant resolutions of international legitimacy.

In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the Kingdom stressed that this recognition explicitly violates relevant United Nations resolutions, particularly the 1981 UN Security Council Resolution 497, which deemed Israel’s imposition of its laws, jurisdiction, and administration over the Golan Heights null and void, with no legal effect.

The Kingdom said that such positions do not contribute to achieving peace; rather, they diverge from the long-standing international stance on the occupied Golan Heights, reinforce the logic of imposing faits accomplis, and undermine efforts aimed at achieving peace in the region.

The Kingdom reiterated “its steadfast position that the Golan Heights are occupied Arab Syrian territory, and that any measures or decisions seeking to alter its legal status do not establish any rights or confer legitimacy upon such actions.”

It called on the Colombian government to reconsider its position, adhere to international law and relevant resolutions of international legitimacy, and continue contributing to efforts aimed at achieving security, stability, and a just and lasting peace in the region.
