Saudi Arabia, fighting in Yemen in support of the internationally recognised government, has this month come under near-daily attacks from the Iran-backed Houthis, including a strike on Riyadh's airport that was the kingdom's deadliest in years.

At a press conference where he reiterated solidarity with Saudi Arabia, Abdelatty stressed "the necessity of exploring all avenues for reaching political solutions that guarantee a complete withdrawal from the territories occupied recently".
