An official from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Sanaa denounced Saudi Arabia’s actions against a Yemenia Airlines plane en route to Jordan as unfriendly and unjustified. The Yemeni government sees this as an attempt to escalate tensions in the region, benefiting the Zionist enemy and diverting attention from the atrocities committed against Palestinians.
The official demanded clarification and an apology for the incident, emphasizing that Saudi Arabia’s actions violate a UN-sponsored agreement. Sanaa airport director Khaled Al-Shaif also criticized the Saudi regime for preventing the plane from crossing its airspace, highlighting the ongoing restrictions on air travel imposed by Saudi authorities.
This incident raises concerns about the region’s stability and adherence to international agreements regarding flight permissions. Yemenia Airlines’ experience serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by airlines operating in the politically charged Middle East.
