Yemen – Grundberg expresses concern about Ansar Allah’s decision to engage in the war and calls for restraint

Grundberg warned – in a statement issued today, Saturday – that this escalation “It threatens to drag Yemen into a regional war, which will make it more difficult to resolve the conflict in Yemen, deepen its economic repercussions, and prolong the suffering of civilians.” He stressed that no party has the right to plunge the country into a broader conflict.

He also called for the utmost restraint and an immediate cessation of further military actions, indicating that he continues his engagement with the Yemeni, regional and international parties, and urged all parties – especially Ansar Allah – to use diplomatic channels and mediation to reduce the escalation and prevent further extension of the conflict regionally.

He stressed the United Nations’ commitment to supporting the achievement of a just and sustainable peace in Yemen, saying that this requires the parties to put the interests of the Yemeni people first and avoid further involvement in regional confrontations.
