US President Joe Biden commented on the decision to extend the truce between the two sides of the conflict in Yemen, which was made through the mediation of the UN.
“Saudi Arabia has shown courageous leadership in ratifying and implementing the provisions,” the US president said.
Biden continued: “The past two months have been some of the most peaceful periods in Yemen since the war began seven years ago, thanks to the April truce.”
He continued: “Oman, Egypt and Jordan played a role that made the ceasefire process possible, and America will continue to engage in this process in the coming weeks and months and will focus on containing threats from friends and partners.”
It is worth noting that the UN special envoy for Yemen announced today, Thursday, an agreement to extend the current truce for two months, expressing gratitude for the support of Saudi Arabia, the Sultanate of Oman and members of the UN Security Council.
