Speaking to the Lebanese news website Al-Ahed, Bakhiti stressed that the US-Saudi Arabian coalition was doomed to failure in Yemen.
The Yemeni resistance official predicted that the UN talks on Yemen in Geneva would totally fail, arguing that good will was essential for the success of any talks.
He further said that negotiations have so far been impeded by the Saudi regime and its mercenary forces in Yemen.
The UN Special Envoy for Yemen, Ismail Ould Sheikh Ahmed, meanwhile arrived in Iran on Wednesday. He is slated to hold talks with Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad-Javad Zarif and Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab and African Affairs, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, on the latest Yemen developments.
The airstrikes have not been authorized by the UN.
Over 2,615 civilians have been killed in the conflict in the last six months, according to the UN. Yet, other organization put the death toll at much higher.
According to the Yemeni health ministry, the death toll from the Saudi-led aggression against Yemen so far is more than 6,000, adding that 1,277 of those killed were children.
