Prime Minister Naftali Bennett releases a statement denouncing the attack launched by Yemen’s Houthi rebels on Saudi Arabia’s capital Riyadh and the Red Sea port city of Jeddah.

“The State of Israel expresses its sorrow to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia after the horrific attack by the Iranian-backed Houthis,” Bennett says.

“This attack is further proof that Iran’s regional aggression knows no bounds and reinforces the concern of Iran’s IRGC being removed from the FTO list,” he adds, referring to reports the US is mulling delisting the Revolutionary Guards as a foreign terror group amid the ongoing nuclear talks in Vienna.
