Penajournalis.com RABAT — In response to the current situation in the Middle East, specifically regarding the conflict involving Houthi militias in Yemen and Saudi Arabia, King Mohammed VI of Morocco issued an official statement on Saturday, September 26, 2026. Below is the official statement received by this media outlet from the Government of the Kingdom of Morocco.
Statement by the Royal Office
His Majesty King Mohammed VI, may God assist Him, addressed two messages to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Sovereign of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and to His Royal Highness Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdelaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Prime Minister, following the repeated attacks perpetrated by the terrorist Houthi militias.
In these messages, His Majesty the King affirms:
“Faithful to the bonds of religion and history, to our shared destiny, as well as to the solid bonds of brotherhood that unite us personally, along with our two Families and our two brotherly peoples, I address You in this delicate circumstance that your dear country is going through. Its historical responsibility, religious values, and strategic considerations require that We all stand united to defend the right, sovereignty, security, and sacred sites of the nation.”
The Sovereign expressed His deep concern regarding the repeated ignoble attacks perpetrated by the terrorist Houthi militias against the brotherly Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which targeted civilian and economic facilities, vital infrastructure, cities, and residential areas. He reaffirmed that what amplifies the feelings of condemnation is the fact that these attacks went beyond targeting facilities and civilians to engage in desperate, despicable, and heinous attempts aimed at the Holiest places on Earth and the most sacred in the heart of every Muslim: Mecca and Medina.
“These ignoble attacks and desperate attempts aimed at undermining the security, stability, and well-being of the valiant Saudi people do not merely constitute an aggression against the brotherly Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, its generous people, and its residents — they also constitute a flagrant aggression against the sentiments of over one billion eight hundred million Muslims across the four corners of the world. They are also a flagrant violation of the values and principles of the Holy Islamic religion, which advocates peace, tolerance, and the sacred nature of blood, honor, and holy sites.”
His Majesty the King expresses, on His own behalf and on behalf of the entire Moroccan people, to the Sovereign and the Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia:
“Our condemnation of these criminal acts, for which the terrorist Houthi militias and those who support, fund, and arm them bear full responsibility. We hold them all accountable before God, history, and international law, and subject to the resulting international sanctions.”
The Sovereign emphasizes:
“The security and stability of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia — like the security of the rest of the Gulf Cooperation Council countries — is inseparable from the security of the Kingdom of Morocco. Any aggression against Saudi Arabia is an aggression against Morocco. We consider support for Our brothers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the brotherly Arab Gulf countries as support for right and legitimacy, and the defense of their supreme interests as a defense of Our common strategic interests.”
His Majesty further affirms that Morocco always stands alongside the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in the face of dangers posed by terrorist and separatist militias and the regional powers that support them — forces targeting the security of neighbors and the regional environment with a short-sighted, destructive vision aimed at undermining regional stability, harming prosperity, and threatening vital maritime routes critical to the global economy and international navigation.
“The continuation of these aggressions constitutes a flagrant violation of international law and relevant United Nations resolutions, notably Resolution 2216 (2015), which demands the withdrawal of militias, the handover of weapons, and the cessation of violence, and Resolution 2722 (2024), which demands an immediate end to attacks against maritime navigation. Likewise, the targeting of civilian areas, economic infrastructure, and holy sites constitutes a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law and international conventions. These acts cannot go unpunished.”
