Deputy Prime Minister of Yemen reiterates: humanitarian file should be completely independent of peace negotiations

The humanitarian aspect is a popular entitlement that has nothing to do with military or political negotiation, but the international community is still using it as a negotiating card until now, Deputy Prime Minister for Defense and Security Affairs Jalal Al-Ruwaishan confirmed on Saturday.

“We did not see clear seriousness in separating the Saudi position from the American desire, and this delay will not lead to a result,” Al-Ruwaishan said in a statement to Al-Masirah.

He added that the countries involved in aggression have returned to using the humanitarian issue as a card to obtain political gains.

He pointed out that the US agenda seeks to employ aggression against Yemen.

Al-Ruwaishan stressed that it is not reasonable or logical for the Yemeni citizen or even for the external observer that Saudi Arabia presents itself as a mediator after all its crimes and aggression.

“The aggressor turning into a mediator is not accepted by religion, logic, or reason. Therefore, Saudi Arabia must not assume a role that does not suit it, and it must lift the siege and remove its forces to get out of the impasse,” he added.

Al-Ruwaishan reiterated the readiness of the Armed Forces for the required position in the event of continued Saudi-US procrastination.
