JEDDAH —
Yemen's Prime Minister Maeen Abdulmalik has reiterated his government's call for holding the Houthi militia accountable for rejecting ceasefire offers and continuing attacks on civilians, especially internally displaced refugees.

In his meeting with US Special Envoy Tim Lenderking on Wednesday, Abdulmalik said the Iranian-backed "militia needs to face the consequences of continuing to fuel the conflict, launch"persistent attacks on civilians in the country, especially refugees in Marib, and reject all peace initiatives," Yemen's official news agency Saba reported on Wednesday.

"What we look forward to is a firm reaction from the international community and the United Nations toward this militia," he said.

The Yemeni prime minister said the militia is also threatening the national and global peace by collaborating with other terrorist organizations and holding the dangerously decaying Safer oil tanker hostage.

Abdulmalik also highlighted the need for supporting Yemen's economic stability and alleviating the country's humanitarian crisis.
