Oman condemned on Sunday the Israeli attacks against the "brotherly Republic of Yemen".
In a statement released by its Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Oman said the Israeli aggression on Yemen signifies escalations in tension in the region.
It also called on the international community to fulfill its peacekeeping responsibilities, regionally and globally and urged it to decisively mobilize to protect civilians and guarantee the delivery of urgent humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.
Kuwait
In turn, the Kuwaiti Foreign Ministry said it was "anxiously following up with the aftermath of the unprecedented Israeli aggression on the Yemeni Republic," in a statement released on Sunday, warning of the risk of the deterioration of regional security as a direct consequence of the occupation's attacks.
It further stressed the importance of secluding the region and its people from the dangers of violence and destruction, urging the international community to uphold its duty and responsibility to end all conflicts.
