On September 28, 2026, the Moroccan King Mohammed VI addressed two messages to King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud of Saudi Arabia and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, condemning the repeated attacks by Houthi terrorist militias on Saudi Arabia. The King's messages expressed his deep concern and condemnation of the attacks, which targeted civilian and economic installations, vital infrastructure, cities, and residential areas.
The Moroccan King emphasized that these attacks, which exceeded targeting installations and civilians to attempting to harm the most sacred sites in Islam, namely Mecca and Medina, constitute an aggression not only against Saudi Arabia but also against the feelings of over 1.8 billion Muslims worldwide. He described these acts as a flagrant violation of Islamic values and principles, which advocate for peace, tolerance, and the sanctity of blood, honor, and sacred sites.
King Mohammed VI expressed Morocco's full solidarity with Saudi Arabia, stressing that the security and stability of Saudi Arabia are inextricably linked to Morocco's own security. He affirmed that any aggression against Saudi Arabia is considered an aggression against Morocco, as supporting Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries is a matter of defending common strategic interests.
The King's messages also highlighted the need for the international community to hold those responsible for these attacks accountable, citing relevant UN resolutions, including Resolution 2216 (2015) and Resolution 2722 (2024). He emphasized that the pursuit of these aggressions constitutes a flagrant violation of international law and humanitarian conventions.
According to the Royal Cabinet communiqué, King Mohammed VI reaffirmed Morocco's unwavering stance alongside Saudi Arabia in the face of threats posed by terrorist and separatist militias, as well as regional powers that support them. These threats aim to destabilize the region, disrupt maritime security, and undermine the economic stability of countries.
The communiqués were reported by MAP, and the article was published on Maliweb.net, a Malian news outlet. While the primary focus of the article was on the King's condemnation of Houthi attacks, it also reflects the interconnectedness of regional security concerns.
The article did not elicit any comments from readers at the time of publication, but it is part of a broader coverage of international news and developments in the region. Other news items on the site included reports on US-China relations, the situation in Iran, and developments in the Russian-European relationship.
