Moroccan Monarch's Strong Stance Against Houthi Aggression
On September 26, 2026, King Mohammed VI of Morocco expressed his profound condemnation of the recent and recurrent attacks carried out by the Houthi militia against Saudi Arabia. In two formal communications addressed to King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the Moroccan monarch emphasized that such acts of aggression cannot go unpunished. He stated that all nations must unite in defense of the sovereignty, security, and sacred values of the Arab nation.
In a statement released by the royal palace, King Mohammed VI conveyed his deep concern and dismay regarding the systematic and heinous assaults on Saudi Arabia, highlighting the attacks on vital civil and economic infrastructures, as well as the targeting of populated urban areas. This wave of violence has not only endangered the lives of civilians but has also attempted to desecrate the holiest sites in Islam, namely Mecca and Medina, which resonates deeply with the sentiments of over 1.8 billion Muslims worldwide. The king characterized these actions as not merely an affront to Saudi Arabia but as an egregious attack on the feelings of Muslims around the globe.
He further asserted that these assaults constitute a blatant violation of the core tenets of Islam, which promotes peace, tolerance, and the sanctity of human life. The Moroccan king unequivocally condemned the criminal acts perpetrated by the Houthi militia, along with those who support, finance, and arm them. He articulated that the security and stability of Saudi Arabia are intrinsically linked to the security of all Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) member states and asserted that any aggression against Saudi Arabia is tantamount to an aggression against Morocco. Thus, Morocco stands ready to defend the shared strategic interests of both nations.
Moreover, the royal communications affirmed Morocco's commitment to supporting Saudi Arabia in addressing the threats posed by these militant groups and the regional forces backing them. The king highlighted the importance of maintaining regional stability, which is essential for global trade routes and maritime security. He reiterated that attacks on civilian areas and sacred sites are clear violations of international humanitarian law and must not go unanswered.
