A number of media outlets allegedly circulated reports on the arrival of a Saudi plane carrying salaries for employees, amid continued leaks about the ongoing negotiations between Sana’a and Riyadh.
In a response to the allegations, Spokesman for the National Salvation Government, Minister of Information Daifallah Al-Shami, denied the arrival of a Saudi plane carrying money and considered it a false news.
Al-Shami tweeted: “The enemy is working hard to penetrate the Yemeni home front, and with every achievement it spreads rumors, the latest of which is the rumor of the arrival of a plane carrying an amount money ( salaries), which is false news. What happened in the corridors of negotiations cannot be dealt with in the media until it becomes a reality.”
يعمل العدو جاهدا على اختراق الجبهة الداخلية للشعب اليمني ومع كل إنجاز يبث الشائعات وآخرها شائعة وصول طائرة تحمل مبلغا أوليا من الرواتب وهو خبر عار عن الصحة ومادار في أروقة المفاوضات لا يمكن التعامل معه إعلاميا حتى يصبح واقعا حقيقيا.

He added: “The path of peace is not written by pens, but made by attitudes.”
However, Al-Shami did not deny the arrival of a Saudi delegation, at a time when flight tracker platforms had recorded a flight of a Saudi military plane from Riyadh to Sana’a.
