SAUDI ARABIA'S FOREIGN MINISTER PRINCE FAISAL BIN FARHAN AL SAUD:  THE LATEST ESCALATION IS PART OF THIS PATTERN OF PROVOCATION AND RESORTING TO VIOLENCE WHENEVER THE HOUTHIS FIND THEMSELVES IN A DIFFICULT POSITION.  THEY ARE FACING INTERNAL PRESSURES AND PROBLEMS, AND THEY WANT TO EXPORT THESE PROBLEMS TO THE LEGITIMATE GOVERNMENT AND TO THE KINGDOM.  THEY WILL NOT SUCCEED IN DOING SO. 08-SEP-2026 08:12 AM ET
