Egypt Strongly Condemns Ongoing Attacks Targeting Riyadh’s King Khalid Airport

Saudi Arabia executed 345 people in 2024, rights groups say, double the rate of the past few years. The government in Riyadh has rejected allegations of unfair trials and secret executions.

Egypt on Saturday, October 10, 2026, strongly condemned continued attacks on Saudi Arabia and the targeting of King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh. In a statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, International Cooperation and Egyptians Expatriates, Egypt denounced the attacks as irresponsible acts that flagrantly violate international law and endanger the lives of civilians of various nationalities.

Egypt reaffirmed its firm rejection of such actions, warning that they threaten regional security and stability, and expressed solidarity with Saudi Arabia in confronting the attacks and supporting measures to safeguard its security, sovereignty and citizens.
