The head of Yemen’s National Delegation, Mohamed Abdulsalam, confirmed that Sayyed Abdulmalik al-Houthi is monitoring the situation of the Palestinian detainees in Saudi Arabia.
He explained that the delay in their release was due to the Saudi side.
“The delay in implementing the initiative of Sayyed Abdulmalik al-Houthi regarding the offer to release Saudi pilots in exchange for members of Hamas being held in Saudi Arabia is due to the Saudi side’s lack of response,” Abdulsalam said during an exclusive interview on Almasirah Channel.
“We are open to any discussion leading to their release,” he added.
He stressed that the reason behind the Saudi-led aggression against the war-torn country is Yemen’s independent stance on the Islamic Nations’ issues.
The Yemeni official reaffirmed Yemen’s stance towards Palestine. “The boycott of Israeli goods is in place in addition to the cultural mobilization against the Israeli enemy.”
Regarding Saudi Arabia’s declared ceasefire, Abdulsalam described it as “a lie” as airstrikes continued unabated.
“Our discussions with the United Nations are continuing, they want a temporary cease-fire, while keeping our skies open to hostile aircrafts,” he said.
He Continued: “The first step to be taken, from the humanitarian situation in Yemen because of COVID-19, is the opening of airports to aid before talking about a ceasefire,” noting that the calls for a cease-fire are not serious.
“We do not reject honorable peace,” he affirmed. “If they offer a peace that is translated by stopping the Saudi-led aggression and lifting the siege, then we are ready for peace.”
Abdulsalam warned the coalition of aggression that the economic blockade will not continue without a response.
He demanded allowing humanitarian aid to Sanaa, and the lifting of the siege on Ad-Durayhimi City in Hodeidah province.
“The coalition of aggression prevents the entry of aid provided by more than one country to Sanaa,” he said.
The official spokesman requested the United Nations to return the stranded and wounded from Muscat, noting that “taking them out and bringing them in was in the agreement with the UN.”
Abdulsalam pointed out that the salary dossier is being circumvented by the United Nations, “We demanded that the central revenues as oil and gas be in favor of salaries, but they refused.”
At the end of the interview, he stressed Yemen’s refusal to surrender to the coalition led by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates with direct US and British support since five years.
Yemen, with its steadfastness for the sixth year, presented an honorable model in front of the US-Saudi aggression. “Yemen is living in a difficult and bad situation,” but he called “the great people of Yemen for more steadfastness,” he concluded.
