Deputy Prime Minister General Jalal Al-Rawishan welcomed the extension of the truce if contingent with alleviating the suffering of the Yemeni people.
“What Sana’a is asking for to be accepted as part of the extension of the truce are basic and human rights for the Yemeni people,” he explained.
He also made it clear that the international community and the UN must understand that it is illogical to talk about a truce while 25 million people in Yemen are trapped.
At the same time, Al-Ruwaishan confirmed the readiness of the armed and security forces in the event the Saudi-backed government refused the truce or linked it to the closure of Sana’a airport and the port of Hodeidah.
