The Muslim World League (MWL) condemned on Thursday the terrorist attack that targeted a security point in Egypt's northern Sinai that left several Egyptian soldiers dead and injured.

MWL Secretary-General and Chairman of the Association of Muslim Scholars, Sheikh Dr. Mohammed bin Abdulkarim Al-Issa, slammed the heinous criminal attack, which underscores "the urgent need to continue the joint international effort to defeat extremism and terrorism."

He stated that these "treacherous attacks will only increase Egypt's determination to confront and eradicate terrorism."

On behalf of the MWL and its global councils, bodies and institutions, Al-Issa stressed "full solidarity with Egypt in its war against terrorism and anything that would undermine or threaten its security and stability."

He offered his condolences to the families of the victims, and the Egyptian leadership, government and people.

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.
