The Secretary General of the Gulf Cooperation Council Dr. Abdullatif bin Rashed Al-Zayani strongly condemned Houthis' attack on two Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea, describing the act as heinous and reflects the great threat represented by the Houthi group on the freedom of navigation and the world trade in the Red Sea. "The attack is an act of terrorism that has threatened the regional security and peace," he said in a statement. Al-Zayani called on the UN Security Council to practice its legal and political responsibility to deter the Houthi group and stop its flagrant violation of the international laws, jeopardizing the freedom of navigation in Bab Al-Mandab strait and the Red Sea and threatening the interests of the countries overlooking it as well as the entire world.
