Cairo, (IINA) - Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shukri said that the Arab League is moving closer to forming a joint Arab military force, pan-Arab newspaper Asharq al-Awsat reported on Saturday.
“Technical teams are already working to develop a vision to establish a joint Arab force, and this will be ready within the next four months,” Shukri said on the sidelines of a state visit to Eritrea, according to Al Arabia. 
Speaking about Yemen, Shukri said, “There can be no doubt that the situation in Yemen requires serious effort in order to find a solution to the humanitarian situation. We need to find a way to return legitimacy and restore stability to Yemen.”
“Egypt is continuing its participation in the alliance and is doing everything in its power to stop the escalation,” Shukri added.
It is noteworthy that in March Arab leaders said during an Arab League summit in Egypt that they wish to create a joint military force to help maintain security within the region.
