Washington (UNA-OIC) – The United States on Monday “strongly” condemned “all egregious Houthi drone and missile attacks on Saudi Arabia”, saying these assaults are “unacceptable” and “dangerous”.
State Department Deputy Spokesperson Jalina Porter said in a briefing that these attacks “put the lives of civilians at risk, and we remain deeply concerned by the frequency of these attacks, including on Saudi Arabia”.
“We strongly call on our parties to seriously commit to a ceasefire and engage in negotiations under UN auspices in conjunction with US Special Envoy Tim Lenderking,” she added, stressing that “this is a time for, again, the Houthis to come to the table and to commit to peace and diplomacy in the region”.
“Again, the Houthis attacks on Saudi Arabia … are unacceptable and these are not actions of a group who say that they want peace,” Ms. Porter reiterated.
