Saudi Deputy Defense Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman stressed on Tuesday that the Kingdom and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) are keen on Yemen joining the organization so that its people can enjoy security, stability and development like all other people of the Gulf.

In a series of tweets, he stated that the Iran-backed Houthi militias in Yemen have chosen terrorism and destruction and they have sacrificed the Yemeni people to serve Iran's agenda.

"We assure the Yemeni people that they are a part of us and we a part of them and that we will always stand by them," he stressed.

The Houthis promote false promises to deceive the Yemeni people and recruit them in the war that have exhausted them, he went on to say.

It is time for Yemenis to shun those false promises and safeguard the free people from the terrorist Houthi scourge, he added.

The Kuwaiti High Committee for Nationality Affairs has revoked the citizenship of 489 individuals, a decision set to be presented to the Cabinet.

Thursday’s meeting was led by Sheikh Fahad Al-Yusuf, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense.

This is the largest number of citizenship revocations carried out at once since Sep. 20, when the committee removed the citizenship of 112 people.

There are no official figures on the total citizenship revocations since the committee began its work in March.

The Kuwaiti authorities have launched a campaign to revoke citizenship for various reasons, mainly fraud.

Unofficial estimates indicate that about 1,300 individuals have had their citizenship revoked as of the end of September.

Al-Yusuf announced the revocation of citizenship for 850 individuals, stating that this process will continue.

He told a local newspaper that those affected did not challenge the committee's decisions, as they were supported by strong evidence.

Al-Yusuf emphasized that the citizenship revocation process is just beginning and will continue after careful review.
