Chairman of Yemen's Presidential Leadership Council (PLC) Rashad al-Alimi called for increased punitive measures against the Houthis during a meeting on Wednesday with UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron in Riyadh.
Al-Alimi emphasized the importance of implementing international resolutions, backing the legitimate government, and curbing the flow of Iranian arms to the insurgent group.
Cameron’s visit comes in the wake of heightened tension in the Red Sea due to escalating Houthi attacks on shipping vessels.
Al-Alimi briefed the UK Foreign Secretary on the latest Yemeni developments, highlighting the UN-led peace endeavors based on Saudi Arabia's efforts despite ongoing obstacles posed by the Houthi militias.
The President disclosed the reasons behind the Houthi militia's attacks on international shipping lanes, their significant impact on the commodity supply chain, and the deteriorating living conditions of the Yemeni people, according to the Yemen News Agency (SABA).
Al-Alimi underscored the risks associated with the continuous flow of Iranian weapons and smuggled funds to the Houthi militias.
He stressed the need for a more stringent international approach, including strict implementation of relevant international resolutions, particularly Resolution 2216.
The President reiterated that implementing international resolutions and supporting the UN-recognized legitimate government are crucial for securing international shipping lanes and reclaiming port cities exploited by terrorist militias to threaten maritime security and global peace.
According to Yemeni media, the UK Foreign Secretary affirmed the UK's commitment to supporting the efforts of the Presidential Leadership Council and the government in restoring state institutions.
Cameron pledged to continue the UK's humanitarian and developmental interventions across all levels.

The atrocities unleashed on El-Fasher in Sudan's Darfur region last October were a "preventable human rights catastrophe", the United Nations said Monday, warning they now risked being repeated in the neighbouring Kordofan region.

 

"My office sounded the alarm about the risk of mass atrocities in the besieged city of El-Fasher for more than a year ... but our warnings were ignored," UN rights chief Volker Turk told the Human Rights Council in Geneva.

 

He added that he was now "extremely concerned that these violations and abuses may be repeated in the Kordofan region".

The General Secretariat of the Arab League strongly condemned decisions by Israeli occupation authorities to impose fundamental changes on the legal and administrative status of the occupied Palestinian territories, particularly in the West Bank, describing them as a dangerous escalation and a flagrant violation of international law, international legitimacy resolutions, and signed agreements, SPA reported.

In a statement, the Arab League said the measures include facilitating the confiscation of private Palestinian property and transferring planning and licensing authorities in the city of Hebron and the area surrounding the Ibrahimi Mosque to occupation authorities.

It warned of the serious repercussions of these actions on the rights of the Palestinian people and on Islamic and Christian holy sites.

The statement reaffirmed the Arab League’s firm support for the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, foremost among them the establishment of their independent state on the June 4, 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
