The National Salvation Government of Yemen has set three terms for their possible acceptance of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)’s invitation for dialogue.
Prime Minister Abdulaziz bin Habtoor said the GCC’s call for Yemen’s warring parties was an attempt to portray Saudi Arabia as a “dove of peace.”
“As if it has not been committing crimes and massacres against the Yemeni people for the past seven years,” the Prime Minister said.
“How can a country that is a key partner in killing Yemenis and committing the most serious crimes against the civilians, be a neutral state that could find a sustainable solution between the belligerents?” bin Habtoor continued.
He then outlined three demands made by Yemen, saying: “Those who want a solution must stop the aggression, lift the blockade and open air, land and sea ports first, and then engage in a dialogue that takes its time to determine the steps of peace that the Yemeni people want.”
