The Minister of Defense, Lieutenant General Mohsen Mohammed Al-Daari, met today, in the temporary capital, Aden, with the Dutch Ambassador to our country, Jean-Georgette Sieben.

The meeting discussed the latest developments in the Yemeni arena, including the Houthi terrorist threats to shipping routes in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab, and the attempt to exploit emotions towards the just Palestinian cause to implement Iran’s agenda in this strategic place in the world.

The Minister of Defense said: “We warned our brothers and friends - from an early time - of the danger this militia poses to international shipping lines, especially since the Iranian project had Bab al-Mandab in mind; however, the international community’s leniency led us to where we are today.”< /p>

Minister Al-Daari stressed the need to support Yemeni legitimacy and its armed forces on the ground. To defeat the terrorist Houthi militia and impose security and stability in the country, which will reflect on the security of the region and the world.

Lieutenant General Al-Daari stressed the keenness of the legitimate leadership to bring peace to Yemen. However, the bitter experiences with the terrorist Houthi militia, with its stubbornness and violation of covenants and covenants, prove that the most useful solution is to support the legitimate forces with qualitative capabilities to restore state institutions and complete liberation in light of the continued smuggling of Iranian weapons to the militias on a permanent and ongoing basis.

For her part, the Dutch Ambassador affirmed that her country stands by Yemen and achieving sustainable peace, and that the Houthi attacks in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab are unacceptable.
