Yemen action ‘to continue until Hadi is back in power’

The operation in Yemen would continue until the legitimate government is back in power, Foreign Minister Prince Saud Al-Faisal said on Tuesday. Briefing Shoura Council members at their 26th session chaired by Abdullah Al-Asheikh, Prince Saud also lashed out at Iran for what he described as its divisive policies in the Middle East, including its involvement in Syria and Iraq. “Saudi Arabia has spared no effort, along with Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states and international parties, to reach a peaceful solution that will defeat the conspiracy against Yemen, solve its problems, and return it to a path of construction and development rather than bloodshed,” he said. He said the Houthi militia and “agents of the former president, supported by Iran, insist on meddling in Yemen.” These forces had rejected all attempts to resolve the situation peacefully, and stolen weapons to carry out their “seditious” actions in Yemen, said Prince Saud.   Arab News
