Morocco's King Mohammed VI has expressed solidarity with Saudi Arabia following attacks attributed to Yemen's Houthi movement, saying that "any attack on Saudi Arabia is an attack on Morocco," according to Anadolu Agency.
The statement underscores the close ties between Rabat and Riyadh, which have historically cooperated on regional security matters within the broader framework of Arab and Gulf state relations.
Continued regional tensions
The Houthi movement, which controls large parts of Yemen, has carried out attacks against Saudi Arabia at various points during the wider regional conflict involving the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen. Such attacks have periodically prompted expressions of support for Riyadh from allied states.
King Mohammed VI's remarks add Morocco's voice to a broader pattern of regional solidarity statements directed at Saudi Arabia in response to Houthi actions, though the specific timing, scale, and targets of the attacks referenced were not detailed in the initial report.
Morocco and Saudi Arabia maintain longstanding diplomatic, economic, and security cooperation, and such public statements of support are often issued through official royal channels during periods of heightened regional tension.
