The Arab League's Ministerial Council voiced support for the military operation carried out by the coalition representing the Gulf Cooperation Council along with a number of Arab and Islamic countries to back the legitimate government of President Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi.
"Out of keenness of the Arab League's Ministerial Council members on Yemen's unity, independence, sovereignty, security, and stability, and after the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) has exhausted all peaceful means to resolve the Yemeni crisis, and according to the joint Arab defense agreement, the Arab League Charter, and Article 51 of the UN Charter, and out of our responsibilities in keeping the integrity, sovereignty, and unity of Arab countries, the Council expresses its blessings and support for the military operation carried out by the coalition to defend legitimacy in Yemen at the call of President Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi," the Council said in a statement on Thursday.
The Council voiced hope that the military action could bring security and stability back in Yemen, and to face any attempts by the Houthis and their allies to destabilize Yemen and the whole region.
