#Yemen Head of the National Negotiating Delegation, Mohammed Abdulsalam: – Before the escalation, and following Sayyed’s speech on the anniversary of the Hijra, in which he called for ending the blockade and addressing urgent humanitarian needs, we contacted the Saudi side, both directly and indirectly, demanding that it respond to what we had agreed upon in the roadmap before the Al-Aqsa Flood. We submitted more than one proposal, but unfortunately, it did not take a single step forward, believing that regional and international developments and Yemen’s participation in the Al-Aqsa Flood meant it no longer needed to fulfill its commitments toward Yemen, and that further humanitarian and economic pressure would be enough to force Sanaa to accept what it had failed to achieve militarily. – Before the Saudi side proceeded to bomb Sanaa Airport on July 13, 2026, we contacted it and warned it of the dangers of such a step. We told it that it must allow the official delegation, along with the patients and stranded people accompanying them, to return. Unfortunately, it insisted on its position and bombed the airport in a provocative move that ended the state of truce and de-escalation. In the face of this serious violation, its insistence on maintaining restrictions on Yemen’s airports and ports under blockade, its obstruction of political and humanitarian solutions, and its rejection of or failure to engage in any realistic and fair solutions in any way, the Yemeni Armed Forces had no choice but to fulfill their duty. – Several days after the first operation in response to the Saudi side began, our brothers in the Sultanate of Oman contacted us, presenting a number of proposals to de-escalate, and we responded positively. Among these proposals was that we agree to a five-day truce during which negotiations would take place in a calm atmosphere. Within three days, we submitted our response agreeing to the Saudi request to halt escalation with it for five days, provided that the Saudi side agreed to the humanitarian demands. From the date we submitted our response until military operations began on the western coast, the Saudi response arrived after approximately 21 days, without any indication that it was prepared to address the humanitarian demands positively, despite having agreed to them before the Al-Aqsa Flood. This was accompanied by intensive field efforts to mobilize forces, arm, and escalate, leading us to realize that this delay was merely an attempt to buy time, and that these additional conditions likewise demonstrated the Saudi side’s lack of seriousness. #Military_Media
