Secretary General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Dr. Nayef Al-Hajraf renewed on Tuesday his call on the Iran-backed Houthi militias to attend the intra-Yemeni consultations.

The consultations kicked off in Riyadh on Tuesday. All Yemeni parties have been invited to hold consultations with the aim of reaching peace and stability in Yemen.

The Houthis must prioritize the interests of Yemen and ease the suffering of their people, urged Al-Hajraf.

He called on the Saudi-led Arab coalition and all Yemeni parties to cease military operations in Yemen. The call stems from the keenness of the leaders and people of the Gulf countries on achieving peace and stability in Yemen.

The consultations will conclude on April 7.

The ceasefire plea was made days before the advent of the holy fasting month of Ramadan, which begins in early April.

Saudi Arabia and Egypt stressed on Friday the need for an “immediate and permanent ceasefire in Lebanon and Gaza.”

Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abduallah held telephone talks with his Egyptian counterpart Badr Abdelatty to discuss the situation in Lebanon and the Israeli escalation in the region, given the ongoing coordination and cooperation between Riyadh and Cairo.

An Egyptian foreign ministry spokesman said the FMs condemned the Israeli assault on Lebanon that has left hundreds dead and wounded.

He stressed Saudi Arabia and Egypt’s “full solidarity with Lebanon and its brotherly people during this crisis.”

They underlined the importance of offering all forms of humanitarian assistance to the people and enabling the state and all of its institutions to perform their duties and impose its sovereignty throughout the country.

The FMs expressed their categorical rejection of any measures that may impact Lebanon’s sovereignty across its territories.

Moreover, they warned that the prolongation of the escalation may have consequences on the people of the region.

Prince Faisal and Abdelatty called for the full implementation of United Nations Security Council resolution 1701 by all concerned parties.

Furthermore, the FMs called on the international community, especially the Security Council, to assume its responsibilities in reaching an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Lebanon and Gaza.

Saudi Arabia and Egypt will continue to coordinate to address the dangers in the Arab region caused by the Israeli assault against the Lebanese and Palestinian people.
