Arab Parliament Welcomes UN Security Council Resolution 2837, Calls for It to Be Translated into Decisive Measures

The Arab Parliament welcomed UN Security Council Resolution 2837, which demands that the Houthi militia immediately halt its military escalation and its attacks, including attacks targeting Saudi Arabia, civilians, commercial airports and international maritime navigation.

In a statement on Friday, the Parliament said that the unanimous adoption of the resolution reflects growing international recognition of the gravity of the Houthis' activities and their repercussions for the security and stability of the region and for freedom of international navigation.

It described the resolution as an "important step" toward unifying international opposition to the "terrorist" acts committed by the militia and its ongoing violations, and stressed the need to translate international condemnations into decisive practical measures that stop the attacks and hold those responsible accountable.

It also welcomed the extension of the sanctions regime imposed on entities linked to the Houthi militia, with the aim of preventing activities that threaten the security and stability of Yemen and the wider region.

It expressed its support for efforts aimed at enabling the legitimate Yemeni government to assume its constitutional responsibilities and to preserve Yemen's unity and territorial integrity, and for the aspirations of Yemenis to security and stability.

The Arab Parliament affirmed that a comprehensive political solution remains the only way to end the Yemeni crisis.
