Jordan government reiterates support to Yemen truce

DUBAI, 09 August 2022, (TON): Jordan’s foreign minister Ayman Safadi said “Amman is committed to continuing its support for Yemen and enhancing its stability.”

Safadi, who spoke in a joint press conference with his Yemeni counterpart, Ahmed Awad bin Mubarak, said Jordan supports the truce in Yemen and ‘roads to Taiz must be opened.’

He said “a comprehensive agreement must be reached in Yemen in accordance to the Gulf’s references and initiatives.”

Jordan’s foreign minister added that the country has received ‘7,000 Yemenis since the start of the armistice.’

Also speaking at the conference, bin Mubarak accused the Iran-backed Houthis of not abiding by a key element in the UN-brokered truce to reopen roads to the besieged city of Taiz saying the group was running away from its commitments.
