The EU on Tuesday slammed the Iran-backed Houthis for refusing to end their siege on Taiz, a major Yemeni city, at a time when Yemen's Foreign Minister Ahmed Awad bin Mubarak confirmed that the militias are still not ready to commit to peace.
“The EU deeply regrets a rejection by the Houthis of the latest proposal by UN special envoy (UNSE) on road reopening notably around Taiz,” the EU said in a statement, urging the Houthis to accept the UN’s proposals in Taiz.
