Global Powers Condemn Houthi Attacks on Saudi Arabia

In September 2026, multiple countries and international groups condemned Houthi strikes on Saudi Arabia and affirmed Riyadh's right to defend itself. Turkey, Egypt, Pakistan, and the G7 foreign ministers all demanded that the Houthis halt their attacks. The R4 ministers also called for the protection of shipping lanes. Meanwhile, reports suggest President Donald Trump's reluctance to confront the Houthis has unsettled Saudi Arabia, with one ex-US official warning that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) 'will not forget' the lack of support. The Houthis are a Yemen-based militant group that has frequently targeted Saudi Arabia.
