United Nations special envoy to Yemen Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed called on Saturday all Yemeni factions to “immediately” return to the negotiations table and take part in the peace process.

In a statement from his office obtained by Asharq Al-Awsat, he expressed his “deep concern” with the latest developments in the capital Sana’a and other regions.

“We call on all sides to respect their commitments in accordance to International Humanitarian Law,” he added.

He urged all sides to exercise restraint and never direct their attacks against civilians.

The UN envoy reiterated that the political solution was the only way to end the conflict in Yemen.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz warned Lebanon's Hezbollah to exercise caution on Friday, saying Israel's patience with "terrorists" who threaten it had worn thin.

Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem said on Thursday that the Lebanese group would act as it saw fit in the face of what he called "brutal Israeli-American aggression" against Iran.

In other statements, the group has made no explicit pledge to join the fighting. But it has condemned Israel’s surprise strikes on Iran that sparked the conflict and endorsed Iran’s missile barrages over Israel.

"I suggest the Lebanese proxy be cautious and understand that Israel has lost patience with terrorists who threaten it,” Katz said in a statement on Friday, adding that "if there is terrorism -- there will be no Hezbollah."

Qassem “is not learning a lesson from his predecessors and is threatening to act against Israel in accordance with the Iranian dictator's orders,” Katz stated.

He said on Thursday that Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, “cannot continue to exist.”
