“Houthis” and the Saudi truth

Coinciding with the directives of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz, to respond to the request of the Chairman of the Presidential Leadership Council, Dr. Rashad Al-Alimi, to correct the conditions of Yemenis residing in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Houthis directed their missiles and marches at civilian objects and facilities, embodying ingratitude and denial.

Despite the efforts to calm the situation in Yemen, and the sincerity of Saudi Arabia’s intentions towards all Yemenis, and its extension of a hand of mediation between them, starting with the initiative of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in 2021, then encouraging the truce in 2022, and contact with various parties since 2023, Houthi claims continue that contradict what Riyadh has done, and is still doing.

Similar to the "Israeli women", "Houthi women" are spreading; Any distorted, incorrect narratives and inaccurate interpretations spread by the Houthis; Whether about the history and present of the Saudi position towards Yemen, or about their swelling size, and the illusion that they represent all of Yemen.

... It must be emphasized that the militia remains a militia that represents itself only, no matter how firmly established it is on the ground, or whether it expands, it does not represent the Republic of Yemen at all.

Not to mention the justifications the militia gives for its persistence in targeting Saudi Arabia and the legitimate Yemeni government, with statements, statements and descriptions repeated by its activists and representatives through media and social media fueled by illusion and excitement:

“Taking evil to its people is quicker than a liquid slope.”

These “Houthis” - distorted statements and criminal actions - collide with the reality of endless “self-restraint”, which is “an established historical feature and a firm Saudi principle,” according to a statement by Prince Turki Al-Faisal, head of the King Faisal Center for Research and Islamic Studies (on the “Arab Views” program with Faisal Abbas on Al-Sharq Channel). However, the continued injury to facilities and the loss of lives may lead to the imposition of a new rule of dealing that preserves sovereignty and protects citizens, at a moment not determined by a militia.

Saudi Arabia - with its status, history, and ability - no matter how silent it is regarding the claims of delusional people, it does not stand helpless in the face of any transgression, and it has the power to determine the end, and to say: “It is over”... once.

It is enough for you that you do not find Riyadh alone without moral support, and look at the echoes of solidarity positions, and the news of statements condemning terrorist attacks on facilities, civilian objects, and holy sites.

Experience has proven that “the terrorist Houthi militias... chose chaos and devastation and the threat to the Yemeni people and the region as their path,” according to the Saudi Crown Prince before the Shura Council at the end of September 2026. This wrong path is matched by Saudi Arabia’s commitment “to its comprehensive support through the coalition to support legitimacy for the Yemeni government to extend its authority over the entire country, restore stability, and confront militia attacks...” in addition to Saudi Arabia’s possession of “high capabilities.” “The ability to confront and completely deter threats, whatever their sources,” as well as its initiative to create effective alliances.

The successful statesman and leader always aspires to spare his people and his country from any potential danger, and at the same time mitigates the severity of the danger if it approaches, and proceeds with a constructive approach that exhausts and confuses those who are hostile to his country, and leaves the militia of chaos and devastation facing the consequences of its behavior and its arrogance, for the sake of letting it perish because it is arrogant.

In Riyadh, there is a pioneering model that gives the country, citizens, and the wider environment options for safety and development, and makes an effort to achieve its goals, pledging to reduce terrorism and extremism aimed at extinction.

No matter how widespread the Houthis spread, the reality of the Saudi position towards Yemen will not change, and the Kingdom will continue to care for its people, support its legitimacy, and contribute to its restoration and recovery...and see the situation:

“They mixed us with souls and took refuge

To rooms that were warmer and shaded

They refused to tire us, even if we believed.

You will meet those of us who will be bored

They said: Come home until they find out

And the clouds will be lifted from what they have revealed.”
