Minister of Endowments and Guidance Sheikh Turki al-Wadaei condemned the Houthi militia’s attempt to target Mecca, calling it a grave crime and a provocation to the feelings of Muslims worldwide.

In a statement to Saba, al-Wadaei said the attack threatened the lives of thousands of pilgrims and violated the sanctity of Islam’s holiest city. He said the incident exposed the true nature of the Houthi militia and its alignment with Iran.

The minister praised Saudi Arabia’s efforts to protect the Two Holy Mosques and pilgrims and called on the Muslim world to adopt a united and firm position against attacks targeting Islamic holy sites.
