News - Yemen: The Prime Minister of National Salvation Government, Abdul Aziz bin Habtoor, affirmed that the Supreme Political Council and the government will not accept any truce if it is not linked to a tangible achievement other than what happened during the past months.

Bin Habtoor explained, Sunday, that providing state employees salaries that have been suspended for seven years and opening Sana'a Airport to more than one travel destination are key to any agreement on a future truce.

"We agreed to the truce within the framework of the gradual lifting of the siege," he said, "If the truce is not linked to achieving direct interests of the citizens, we have no need for it," he added.

In early April, the UN special envoy for Yemen, Hans Grundberg, announced the nationwide ceasefire, for the first time since 2016, saying the two-month truce would be eligible for renewal with the consent of parties. The truce meant to halt all military operations in the country and to bring the foreign military invasion to an end.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said the truce "must be a first step to ending Yemen’s devastating war," urging the warring parties to build on the opportunity to "resume an inclusive and comprehensive Yemeni political process."

The deal stipulates halting offensive military operations, including cross-border attacks, and allowing fuel-laden ships to enter Yemen’s lifeline al-Hudaydah port and commercial flights in and out of the airport in the capital Sana’a "to predetermined destinations in the region."

The Saudi-led aggression continues to violate the truce by detaining new fuel ships, despite their inspection and obtaining permits from the United Nations, insisting on the closure of Sana’a Airport, as well as, the fires of the aggression side did not subside along the fronts, on the borders and inside. Shelling, reconnaissance, development and crawl, including a failed advance carried out by mercenaries towards Army and Popular Committee sites south of Marib.
