![]() His Excellency Abdallah Yahya A. Al-Mouallimi Permanent Ambassador to the United Nations Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Esteemed delegates and distinguished guests, King Salman has asked that our delegation come before this honored council of nations to bring up a concern that affects Middle Eastern security as well as the safety of all innocent people around the world. This is the concern surrounding the ongoing terrorist-led conflict in Yemen. For years now the terrorist organization, known as Houtis, and its state-sponsors in Tehran have taken the lives of thousands of innocent Yemeni civilians and attempted to oust the legitimate, internationally recognized government of Yemen. Through their efforts they have opened the door to more extremism to seep into the country and have created a seething breeding ground for terrorism: front line training, camps, supply routes, and other perks. Now Al Qaeda has jumped on the opportunity as as the Islamic State. I must call upon this honored council to put forward and pass a resolution which would request a hearing in the United Nations Security Council to discuss and hopefully pass a resolution in support of the legitimate government of Yemen under President Hadi. Saudi Arabia and our allies have continued and expanded operations in Yemen to stem the spread of these Houti terrorists and have taken measures to ensure these Houti terrorists are unable to continue their campaign of rape and destruction. However, this must become a global effort. The end of extremism is of the greatest concern for the Arab world, and we also know that many other states around the world are involved directly and indirectly in the fight against extremism. So we feel that it should not be a suprise for the United Nations, as the leading organization for global security, to come forward with a statement of support for the legitimate government of Yemen, who has been forced into a position of exile and civil war due to the actions of Iran, who has acted through these Houtis rebels. I now open the floor to discussion and questions. |

![]() Permanent Representative of Israel to the United Nations Mr. Secretary General, With all due respect to the Chinese Representatives, but the inability of this organization to agree on even the slightest aspect of any crisis in the Middle East, has been evident for years now. The lack of addressing the Baathist Chemical attack on Mosul and the population of Syria, the lack of action in regards to Hezbollah's tunnels into the Galilee and the inability to form a common alliance against the biggest terrorist threat to humanity since the days of Osama bin Ladin, thoroughly outlines the situation in which Riyadh sees itself. The Disease of Islamic terrorism spreads and the United Nations is yet to do anything to combat it. Israel itself, a bastion against terrorism understands the concerns of Riyadh regarless of the non-existant relations between our nations. |

Vitaly Churkin Permanent Ambassador to the United Nations Russian Federation We unequivocally condemn the illegal actions of Saudi Arabia specifically in violating the sovereignty of Yemen and secondly in intervening in a conflict of which it has no business. Saudi Arabia risks the starting of a proxy war with the Islamic Republic of Iran and because of the lack of relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran the danger of this going from a proxyized conflict to something much hotter is tremendously large. Do neither nation understand the significant consequences at stake here? This is an internal matter for Yemen to sort not for the Saudis and Iranians to take advantage for their own personal gain. Saudi Arabia should focus on eliminating Islamic State which continues to rage in North Africa and also other areas. Instead we have seen a pattern of destablizing actions ranging from Saudi support for the terrorist Free Syrian Army to Saudi interjection within Yemen. The behaviour must stop and we call for a complete ceasefire on Saudi intervention, Saudi forces must stay on their side of the border protecting Saudi interests from within Saudi Arabia. |

![]() Permanent Representative of Israel to the United Nations Mr. Secretary General, I must clarify to the Russian delegate, that Saudi Arabia is not "starting" a proxy war with Iran. Iranian proxy warfare has been an integral part of Middle Eastern instability from Hamas to Hezbollah and now the Saleh/Houthi coalition for ages and remains the single most counterproductive aspect of conflicts in the Middle East. The Russian condemnation seems shallow to say the least, when it requests Riyadh not to intervene to direct threats on its borders, while requesting Saudi Arabian efforts combating Islamic State in North Africa? Perhaps the Russian delegate cannot fully understand Middle East affairs here. War is not upon us, it has already begun and the puppets that plays large part of the instability is the regime in Tehran, the biggest threat to humanity in the Middle East. And may I point out, a "friend" of Moscow. Start in your own backyard Mr. Churkin, you have the capacity to ensure that Iran withdraws. Regardless of the non-existant relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia, we understand their concerns as they share much alignment with concerns of Israel. |

Vitaly Churkin Permanent Ambassador to the United Nations Russian Federation Israel continues to overstep its bounds in its diplomatic interactions with the Russian Federation, whom I might add is one of Israels largest economic trading partners, to blame this all on Iran and Moscow is the height of naivety. The Islamic Republic of Iran did not cause or start all the woes in the Middle East regardless of what Israeli propaganda might state. We are very quickly losing our tolerance for the rhetoric being espoused not just on this topic but also as it pertains to Syria, particularly as Israel cannot even understand that it has been a significant destabilizing force within the entire region ranging from its operations in Syria to its threats in the past of attack on Iran to its illegal invasion of Lebanon in 2006 to its actions in supporting the terrorist Free Syrian Army. |

![]() Permanent Representative of Israel to the United Nations Mr. Secretary General, I must clarify that the State of Israel does not blame Moscow for developments in Yemen. I believe such references has not been made in this chamber. The position remains the same, Iranian proxy wars is the main threat to stability and its newest victim is Yemen. We therefore, once more call upon Russia to communicate with Tehran if it indeed wishes to issue a blow to the Saleh/Houthi coalition. |

Vitaly Churkin Permanent Ambassador to the United Nations Russian Federation We have no desire to strike a blow to the Houthis for we have no desire to engage in what has become a proxy war between Saudi Arabia and Iran. The Saudis have made the situation worse by engaging the Houthis which makes the stakes for ending support significantly higher for the Iranian government. We might be able to encourage such a ceasefire between the warring factions in Yemen should the Saudis end their military activities within Yemen. However as long as Saudi remains actively involved in Yemen we will not interfere with Iranian obligations. |

![]() His Excellency Abdallah Yahya A. Al-Mouallimi Permanent Ambassador to the United Nations Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Mr. Secretary General, Excellencies, and Guests; It is becoming rather disturbing that the honorable delegate from the Russian Federation seems to maintain a sever lack of knowledge of the ongoing situations in the Middle East other than what is fed to it by Damascus and Tehran. The fact is our intervention in Yemen is not a isolated decision by the Kingdom; but in fact a coalition of Arab states acting in the defense of our security and regional security as a whole. The fact that Russia cannot accept that the majority of the Arab community stands behind Yemen as a state and wish to see peace return to it is not surprising given its willingness to continue to fuel conflicts around the world. For what reason Moscow is doing this we do not know, nor do we care. Iran is supporting terrorist organizations around the region, with criminally obtained assets. Their nuclear program continues to be a threat as does their radical beliefs and willingness to support terror groups. The Kingdom has been attacked, and has a much more clear-cut reason for intervention than Russia's farce in the Ukraine. |

Rosemary A. DiCarlo United States Ambassador to the United Nations Mr Jieyi, While the United States is opposed to unilateral intervention in general in the case of the spread of radical Islam action by a international coalition consisting mostly of Arab states with or without the blessing of the Security Council is more preferable to the alternative of allowing the fall of a country, especially when certain members of the Security Council have shown absolutely no inclination to push forward with resolutions that brings peace keepers, peace, and stability to Syria, Iraq, Libya, or Yemen. Mr Churkin, Revolutionary forces in Yemen and elsewhere in the Middle East if left unchecked by international action could pose a threat to Muslim holy sites in Saudi Arabia. Thus while frowned upon it is understandable why Saudi Arabia could take action in defense of its interests. Edited by Vonar Roberts, May 11 2015, 03:05 PM.

Asoke Kumar Mukerji Permanent Representative of India to the United Nations India does not in general support unilateral actions and interventions in other nations we can understad the Saudi position and while we would prefer a UN resolution we belive that the handling of other crisis clearly shows that the UNSC is unable or unwilling to resolve them and thus leave them little choice in face of a clear and present danger. India has no plans to intervene in Yemen but we will use whatever force necessary to protect our allies and facilities in the area should the fighting spread. |

Liu Jieyi | 刘结 Permanent Representative to the United Nations | 常驻联合国 I don't believe that any effort has been made to put forward a proposal for the Security Council to take action regarding Yemen, instead, the onus of responsibility has fallen on Saudi Arabia to act alone. While my government does not approve of such actions per se, the need to act to safeguard its own territory makes the Saudi actions understandable at present. That being said, I do not believe that a Saudi invasion to restore what semblance of peace existed in Yemen prior to the Houthi rebellion would be appropriate without an international mandate. |
