Shaheem said Makkah and Madinah hold a special significance for Muslims worldwide and should remain protected from threats and violence. He also prayed for the continued security and stability of Saudi Arabia and for Muslims to be protected from conflict and harm.
“I strongly condemn in the harshest terms the threats posed by Yemeni terrorists to all territories of Saudi Arabia, and I pray to Almighty Allah to protect the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, bestow upon it the blessings of peace and stability, and safeguard it from all dangers and evils,” he said.
أستنكر بأشد العبارات التهديدات التي أطلقتها الميليشيات الإرهابية في اليمن تجاه مكة المكرمة والمدينة المنورة وسائر أراضي المملكة العربية السعودية، وأعلن تضامني الكامل مع المملكة، قيادةً وشعبًا.
ونسأل الله تعالى أن يحفظ المملكة العربية السعودية، ويديم عليها نعمة الأمن والاستقرار،… pic.twitter.com/4yZ2zwJEox— Mohamed Shaheem Ali Saeed (@Mohamedshaheem1) September 15, 2026
