BREAKING
Russian Ministry of Defense: 37 Ukrainian drones destroyed in 4 hours over regions of Russia and the Black Sea.
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.

The UN special envoy for Yemen urged both parties of the war to take "serious steps" toward lasting peace in light of intensified mediation efforts to resolve the eight-year conflict.

Hans Grundberg stressed during a visit to Japan on Monday the need to strengthen global advocacy for a sustainable political settlement that would shape Yemen's future of durable peace and development.

He noted what a "critical time" this is, emphasizing that "the parties have "a responsibility to build on the progress achieved and take serious steps toward lasting peace," and adding that "the coherence of the international community and its unity of objective on Yemen will be pivotal assets in this regard."

In parallel with Grundberg's efforts, Oman has also been trying to close gaps between Yemen's Ansar Allah movement and Saudi Arabia. The peace efforts aim to prolong an UN-brokered ceasefire, which is in place despite last October's official expiry date. In April, Omani and Saudi delegations held peace talks with Ansar Allah officials in Sanaa.

The Al-Masirah broadcaster reported on Monday that Washington has stepped up its "interferences" in Yemen, referring to meetings between the US Ambassador to Yemen Stephen Fagin and members of the so-called presidential leadership council, Faraj al-Bahsani and Sultan Ali Al-Arada. 

The report said that during both meetings, Fagin advised the council not to pay the salaries of state employees out of oil revenues, adding that "despite being announced that meetings come to 'discuss peace efforts and a political settlement in Yemen,' they have completely different goals."

"They come within the framework of the counter-move taken by the Americans to undermine the Omani mediation efforts and thwart the efforts to end the aggression against Yemen."

Ansar Allah chief Abdul-Malik Al-Houthi accused the United States last week of "obstructing real peace" and "fair entitlements for our dear people." 

By enlisting the assistance of some of its allies, like the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia started a brutal war of aggression against Yemen in March 2015.
