Saudi Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Adel Al-Jubeir on Sunday criticized the arms embargo imposed by Germany on Saudi Arabia due to the war in Yemen, stressing that Riyadh had options for purchase from several other countries.
In an interview with the German news agency, Al-Jubeir expressed his belief that “the idea of stopping the sale of arms to Saudi Arabia due to the war in Yemen is illogical”.
“The war in Yemen is a legitimate war that we have been forced to wage,” he said, adding that Saudi Arabia can buy weapons from a number of countries during this time.
The two parties in the ruling coalition in Germany, led by Chancellor Angela Merkel, agreed in the coalition treaty in March 2018 to stop arms exports to all parties “directly” participating in the war in Yemen.
