Singapore Joins 12 Other Countries in Joint Statement to Houthi Rebels, Warning of Consequences
The Republic has joined 12 other countries in condemning attacks by Houthi militants on commercial ships in the Red Sea, warning of consequences if they continue.
In a joint statement issued through the White House’s briefing room on Jan 3 (US time), the 13 countries called for an end to the ongoing Houthi attacks, which are “illegal, unacceptable, and profoundly destabilising”.
“There is no lawful justification for intentionally targeting civilian shipping and naval vessels,” the statement said.
