Saudi Arabia defends ‘just’ Yemen war ahead of UK visit
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleSaudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister defends his country’s “just” war in Yemen, on the eve of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s controversial visit to Britain.
“They criticise us for a war in Yemen that we did not want, that was imposed on us,” Adel Al-Jubeir tells BBC Radio 4.
“They criticise us for a war in Yemen that is a just war, that is supported by international law,” he adds.
Protest group Stop the War will hold a rally outside Prime Minister Theresa May’s Downing Street residence on Wednesday to denounce Saudi Arabia’s “brutal and illegal bombing” in Yemen and London’s support for the Middle Eastern regime.
