The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Sana’a on Monday confirmed that the Armed Forces operations in Saudi Arabia and the UAE are “a natural result of the two countries ignoring the previous warnings.”
“The military operations carried out by the army and the Popular Committees are not surprising, but rather come as a natural result of previous warnings that were misunderstood by the two aggression states, Saudi Arabia and the UAE,” an official source at the Ministry said in a statement.
The source affirmed the position of the political leadership and the National Salvation Government in Sana’a is still with “a real and honourable peace, in a manner that preserves the security and stability of the Yemeni people.”
“It is time to stop this brutal aggression, and time for Abu Dhabi and Riyadh be of sound mind and give priority to the interests of all the peoples of the region, by seizing the proposed regional peace initiatives,” the source said.
The source reiterated that “the option of peace is on the table, but there must be an immediate start of humanitarian confidence-building measures, foremost of which are the reopening of Sana’a Airport for civil and commercial flights, the lifting of the siege on the ports of Hodeidah, and the allowing of entry to fuel ships, in order to create the appropriate atmosphere for peace consultations and a comprehensive political settlement.”
