US envoy to Yemen Timothy Lenderking blamed the Houthis for their "impossible" demands that failed the US and UN efforts to extend the truce, demanding the group shows more flexibility to achieve peace.
During a special telephonic press briefing, Lenderking warned of the resumption of fighting again after the failure of efforts to extend the armistice, warning that "a return to war, which will bring nothing but casualties and destruction on Yemen and will bring further confusion as to where this conflict is headed."
