The parliament stressed the support of the Yemeni legitimacy and the role played by the Arab Coalition for Restoring legitimacy, in Yemen, calling on the Arab institutions to assume their responsibilities, in bringing peace and security, in Yemen. Arab Parliament also condemned the planting of sea mines, booby-trapped boats and the targeting of oil tankers in the Red Sea by the Houthi militia, stressing that this targeting represents a terrorist act, a serious threat to international peace and security, a threat to the global trade movement and compounding the security risks in this strategic region, which requires a united position on the part of the international community to counter and deter such dangerous behavior, conducted by the Houthis.
