(credit: Social Media/via REUTERS)    Turkey’s Foreign Ministry released a statement condemning the strikes and wishing a quick recovery to the wounded.  Calling for an immediate end to the (https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/article-911232) strikes , “which target civilians and civilian infrastructure,” Turkey reaffirmed its “full solidarity with Saudi Arabia and reiterated our call for the resolution of ongoing conflicts through dialogue and diplomacy.”  Similarly, the Russian Foreign Ministry said on Sunday that it condemned the attack, Russian news agency Interfax reported.   "The situation in the Middle East can only be resolved through diplomatic means, while taking into account the interests of all countries in the region," the ministry said.  'Attack on Saudi Arabia is an attack on Yemen'  The Saudi-backed head of Yemen's Presidential Council, Rashad al-Alimi, denounced the attack on Riyadh’s airport in his own post, extending his condolences to those wounded and the families of those killed.   “This criminal attack reflects the (https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/article-911090) Houthis ’ terrorist nature and their disregard for civilian lives and the interests of the Yemeni people,” wrote Alimi. “This comes as Saudi Arabia continues its fraternal support for Yemen’s economy, public budget, and citizens’ welfare, including recent facilities for Yemeni residents.”  “The security of Saudi Arabia and Yemen, and the interests of their peoples, are intertwined. Any attack on Saudi Arabia is an attack on our security, interests, and the future of our generations.”  “We reaffirm our shared resolve to continue the ‘Dawn of Yemen' Operation to end the terrorist threat and restore state institutions, whatever the sacrifices,” he said.  The Qatari Foreign Ministry condemned the strikes as well, “considering them a grave violation of Saudi Arabia's sovereignty and a direct threat to regional security, the safety of civilians, civilian infrastructure, and air navigation.”  It reiterated Qatar’s solidarity with Saudi Arabia, emphasizing “that the security of Saudi Arabia is an integral part of Qatar's security and the collective security system of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) States.”  Jordan's King Abdullah II ibn Al Hussein, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney also condemned the attack in their own X posts.  Trump weighing joining Saudi retaliation against Houthis  US President (https://www.jpost.com/international/article-911243) Donald Trump , speaking to reporters outside the White House, was asked whether Washington planned to join Saudi strikes on the Houthis.  "We may. We're going to look at it. We just found out about the recent attack, so we'll make a decision. We move very quickly," he said.  US Secretary of State Marco Rubio condemned the attacks, saying they "demonstrate a blatant disregard for innocent civilian life."  “I am deeply shocked by & strongly condemn Saturday’s lethal attack by the Houthis on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, which reportedly killed 12 people & injured hundreds of civilians,” stated UN Secretary-General António Guterres in an X post.  “Attacks on civilians & civilian infrastructure are a violation of international law. These attacks must cease immediately.”  Reuters contributed to this report.
