Jubeir explained that coalition forces to support the legitimacy in Yemen has made great achievements in the liberation of many areas from the rebels' grip, including the port city of Aden, which allowed for a legitimate government to return to Yemen, and the latest of these achievements was achieved just the day before yesterday by controlling Bab Al-Mandab, which guarantees freedom of international navigation. He stressed that the military option is the last option for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Coalition's countries and came after the coup carried out by the forces of (Houthi - Saleh), and their takeover of the country and their blockade of the presidential palace in Aden as well as their threat of the legitimate president, where military intervention came at the request of the legitimate government in Yemen under Article (51) of the Charter of the United Nations. Al-Jubeir further said that the goal of military operations in Yemen is to reduce the risk of militias and the protection of our borders, and to find a political solution based on the initiative of GCC's Arab states, the outputs of the national dialogue and UN Security Council Resolution 2216, and as we believe that Houthis are part of the social fabric in Yemen, however, that does not give them the right to have a distinctive status or form militias outside the framework of the state of Yemen or at the expense of the rest of Yemeni people's components. --More 13:19 LOCAL TIME 10:19 GMT تغريد
