Washington (IINA) – The United States has said that the Houthi rebels are the ones who disrupted the peace process in Yemen, not the Saudi-led military campaign, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported.
Acting Deputy State Department spokesman Jeff Rathke said during the daily press briefing that the aggressive actions by the Houthis and their supporters are the reason for the disruption in the political transition process.
The Operation Decisive Storm against the Houthis in Yemen was launched in response to these aggressive actions by the Houthi militias, he said.
“We continue to work closely with the United Nations and with our international partners; and the final goal in Yemen is a political dialogue for peaceful transition," Rathke said, adding: "We see very clearly that the Houthi aggression led to the military operation in Yemen".
Asked about the reason for the collapse of the political agreement, Jeff Rathke said, 'Houthis did not abide by this agreement. He pointed out that there were efforts made by the United Nations that were supported by the international community, but “the Houthis’ refusal to engage in the dialogue process and their resort to violence which has brought us to the situation that we find ourselves in now”.
