In the presence of members of the Supreme Political Council, ministers of the Salvation Government, and leaders of parties and civil society organizations, he stressed that the United Nations has been displaying submission to Saudi pressure referring to lifting the imposed Saudi siege on Sanaa Airport. He said that Yemeni and Arab activists abroad recorded honorable stances pressuring for the reopening of Sanaa airport, in parallel with an international failure and a Security Council deficit.
