Secretary General of the Arab League Dr. Ahmed Abdulghait condemned the attack on two oil tankers, affiliated to the Saudi National Company for Maritime Transportation, by the Iran-backed Houthi militias of Yemen. Mahmoud Afifi, official spokesman of the Arab League, said today the Houthis targeting the maritime navigation in the Red Sea constitutes a threat to the international trade traffic and doubles the security risks in this strategic zone. He said the matter requires an unified position to denounce such serious behavior, noting that the Houthis are every day providing a new evidence of their reluctance to join any serious effort to bring about peace and security to Yemen, holding them accountable of the continuing suffering of the Yemeni people due to the continuation of struggle among the Yemenis.
