Arab solidarity with Saudi

Bahrain, The UAE, Oman, Jordan, Palestine and Yemen yesterday affirmed their full solidarity with Saudi Arabia against all those who attempt to undermine or seek to harm the Kingdom’s policy, position and sovereignty.

The statements, issued by each country’s official news agency, came following accusations against the Kingdom in the case of the missing Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

Khashoggi, a Saudi national who had been based in the US, has been missing since Oct 2, when he visited the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul to obtain marital documents. Bahrain expressed its gratitude of the important role played by Saudi Arabia, which “is considered the foundation for security and stability in the Arab and Islamic worlds.”
