MAKKAH — A number of Saudi lawyers and legal consultants have hailed Operation Decisive Storm against Houthi rebels in Yemen by describing it as a correct decision and a vital step that will ensure the security and stability of Yemen. They said the Saudi-led coalition airstrikes would preserve the integrity of Yemen and protect its legitimate government. "Operation Decisive Storm is a legal right of the Kingdom to defend the security and stability of its sisterly neighbor Yemen," said lawyer Ibrahim Zamzami who reiterated the operation will preserve the unity and territorial integrity of Yemen according to a United Nations charter. Omar Al-Kholi, another Saudi lawyer, echoed his colleague's words and said the quick intervention to restore stability to Yemen through Operation Decisive Storm came at the right time. "The state of chaos and instability in Yemen created by the Houthis has to come to an end," he said. Al-Kholi believes that the Saudi-GCC, Arab and Islamic coalition are capable of defeating the Houthis and putting an end to their evil machinations. Firyal King, a female lawyer and legal consultant, said Operation Decisive Storm is a lesson for anyone who may dare to destabilize the region especially Saudi Arabia. "The storm which has been blowing against the Houthis and any other party who may be thinking of toying with the stability of the region is an unforgettable lesson which everyone should learn," she said while adding the decision to start the operation was the right one, which was dictated by the interests of Muslims. "The Kingdom's attitude was very courageous. The head of the conflict, which has bitten the hand that was feeding him, has to be cut and completely annihilated," she said.
