The head of the Sanaa negotiating delegation, Mohammad Abd al-Salam, said today, Friday, that "there will be no stability in the region without the stability of Yemen."
In a tweet, Abd al-Salam affirmed that "peace in Yemen can only be achieved by a comprehensive cessation of aggression, the withdrawal of foreign forces, a comprehensive lifting of the siege, the release of prisoners, and a comprehensive treatment of the repercussions of the aggression in terms of compensation and so on."
لا استقرار للمنطقة دون استقرار اليمن، ثم إن السلام في اليمن لا يتم إلا بوقف شامل للعدوان وسحب القوات الأجنبية ورفع شامل للحصار، والإفراج عن الأسرى، وصولا إلى معالجة شاملة لتداعيات العدوان من تعويضات وغيرها وأي إجراءات لا ترقى إلى السلام الحقيقي لا قيمة لها.

Al-Atifi: If they want war..we are ready
For his part, Defense Minister Major General Muhammad Nasser Al-Atifi affirmed that "the opportunity is available for the countries of the [Saudi-led] coalition of aggression to move towards a just and honorable peace, and if they want war, we are ready."
Al-Atifi explained that "the Israeli entity, which the British colonialism established on the land of Palestine in 1948, is threatened with demise and is aware of the inevitability of its shameful end," explaining that this is the reason for which "the colonizer established for its entities in the region such as the states of the coalition of aggression that, over decades, achieved what he wanted economically, politically, culturally, and in the media, and now, it achieved what it wanted militarily by direct intervention, like in Yemen.”
Major General Al-Atifi pointed out that "the eighth year of steadfastness will be the year of empowerment and comprehensive victory in all of the Yemeni lands."
The Minister of Defense also affirmed, "The Yemeni armed forces, under the wise leadership of the leader of the revolution, Mr. Abdul Malik Badr Al-Din Al-Houthi, have proven to everyone that the honest fighter is more solid and powerful than the enemy's tanks, armored vehicles, planes, missiles and warships."
Yesterday, a member of the political bureau of the Ansar Allah movement in Yemen, Muhammad Al-Bakhiti, told Al Mayadeen that "the goal of the aggression countries from the truce is to enter the phase of no peace and no war with Yemen," pointing out that "Yemen possesses the military capabilities to destroy the oil infrastructure in Saudi Arabia and the Emirates and disrupting their ports and airports."
It is noteworthy that the armistice entered into force on the 2nd of last April and was extended on the 2nd of last June.
