Joint Forces Deny Houthi Claims of Saudi Threats to Yemeni Tribes

The Joint Forces of the Coalition to Support Legitimacy in Yemen on Thursday refuted claims that Saudi Arabia threatened to target tribal and civilian gatherings in Yemen, labeling them as baseless allegations. The forces accused Houthi militias of attempting to mislead public opinion and incite division between Yemenis and Saudis.

In a statement, the Joint Forces indicated that these allegations are part of efforts to divert attention from the crises and practices of the Houthi militias, and to involve Yemeni tribesmen in conflicts that do not serve their interests.

The statement affirmed that the Yemeni tribe represents an authentic component of the country's social and historical fabric, forming a bridge of communication between the Yemeni and Saudi peoples, who are linked by religion, neighborhood, history, and a shared destiny.

The Joint Forces emphasized Saudi Arabia's steadfast position in supporting Yemen's security and stability, and its keenness to preserve historical ties with the Yemeni people, which contribute to strengthening stability and protecting the interests of both nations, according to the statement.

They called for resisting disinformation campaigns and incitement, asserting that the fraternal bonds between the Yemeni and Saudi peoples will remain firm against attempts to sow discord and animosity.
