Parliament Holds Saudi Regime Fully Responsible for Targeting Sana’a Airport

The Parliament strongly condemned and denounced the Saudi regime’s targeting of Sana’a International Airport.

In a statement issued today, the Parliament considered the targeting of Sana’a Airport with a number of airstrikes as a violation of Yemeni sovereignty, a dangerous escalation of the peace path and the de-escalation phase, and a flagrant disregard for all its commitments to the Yemeni people’s entitlements.

The Parliament held the Saudi regime responsible for the consequences of its aggression on Yemen, pointing out that its escalation, driven by American and Israeli motives, aims to prolong the siege on Yemeni airports and ports, circumvent peace efforts, evade the implementation of the roadmap, and persist in depriving thousands of Yemeni patients, travelers, and students of the most basic rights guaranteed by all international laws.

The Parliament considered the targeting of airports, ports, and civilian objects as a crime added to the series of crimes committed by the Saudi regime in Yemen, a blatant violation of Yemeni airspace, and a tightening of the siege to restrict the Yemeni people and increase their suffering.

The statement noted that the Parliament had previously called on parliaments and free people of the world to advise the Saudi regime to reconsider its calculations, but it persisted in its folly, insisted, and became arrogant, refusing to listen to the voice of reason, disregarding human rights, and continuing to commit more crimes against the capabilities of the Yemeni people.

The Parliament renewed its call on Arab, regional, and international parliaments, the international community, the United Nations, relevant international humanitarian organizations, and free people of the world to condemn and denounce this crime, calling on them to assume their responsibilities towards the aggression and unjust siege endured by the Yemeni people for more than ten years.

The Parliament held the Saudi regime responsible for the consequences of its escalation and its violation of the principles of international and humanitarian law, noting that its targeting of Sana’a Airport today comes within the framework of its efforts to continue the siege imposed on it and its attempt to impose guardianship over Yemen.
