News - Yemen: Member of the Supreme Political Council Mohammad Ali al-Houthi confirmed on Wednesday evening that the statement of the Security Council is extremist, and Sana’a’s demands to lift the siege, hand over salaries and open the airport are not extremist.

"It is not extremism to lift the siege on Yemen, it is not extremism to hand over the salaries of employees from oil revenues, and it is not extremism to lift the ban on travelers to Sana’a Airport from all destinations," Al-Houthi explained in a tweet on his Twitter account.

He pointed out that “extremism is the statement of the Security Council.”

Media affiliated with the countries involved in aggression has reported that the UN Security Council stressed that Sana'a’s "extremist" demands in the last days of negotiations to extend the truce in Yemen has impeded the efforts of the United Nations to broker the agreement, "risking negative consequences."

A UN-brokered truce lasted for six months in the seven-year-old war waged by Saudi Arabia and its regional allies supported by US and western countries against Yemen.

The truce, however, expired on Sunday amid the Saudi-led coalition’s constant violations of the agreement and its refusal to properly lift a siege that it has been enforcing against Yemen since the beginning of the war.

The US-Saudi aggression, with UN complicity, is still evading the implementation of humanitarian and legal entitlements, foremost of which is the paying employee salaries, which made Sana’a refuse to extend the temporary truce.

Sana’a insists on disbursing the salaries of all state employees in accordance with a transparent mechanism and from secure funding sources so that the exchange process does not stop months after the agreement. However, the Saudi-led aggression rejected this equitable demand for all Yemenis without exception.

The head of the National Delegation Mohammed Abdulsalam censured the aggressor coalition for failing to renew the truce deal and deteriorating the humanitarian crisis in the country as a result of its intransigence and disavowal of measures that alleviate the suffering of the Yemeni people.
