Ghobash and White strongly condemned the Houthi attacks on civilian facilities in the UAE and stressed the need to find peaceful solutions to conflicts and crises affecting the region and the rest of the world, as well as the importance of respecting good neighbourly ties and not intervening in the internal affairs of countries.

Ghobash called on the European Parliament to condemn the Houthi attacks on civilian facilities in the UAE and help in the implementation of the United Nations (UN) Security Council resolutions 2261 and 2231, and prevent the supply of arms from foreign countries and list the Houthi militias as a terrorist group.
