Sanaa (Yemen), Jun 9 (EFE / EPA) .- (CAMERA: Yahya Arhab) Diplomatic efforts continue to pressure the warring factions in Yemen to end the armed conflict in the country that has lasted since 2014 and has plunged the country into the world's greatest humanitarian crisis.
US President Joe Biden says that the war in Yemen "has to end", pledging to terminate US support for Saudi-led offensive operations and to halt arms sales, during his first foreign policy address at the State Department. SOUNDBITE
Hundreds of pro-Houthi protesters march in the streets of Sanaa, calling for an end to the Saudi-led coalition airstrikes against Yemen. Nathan Frandino reports.
The United Nations Security Council demands an immediate end to attacks by Yemen's Huthi rebels on shipping in the Red Sea. The resolution passed "demands that the Huthis immediately cease all such attacks, which impede global commerce and undermine navigational rights and freedoms as well as regional peace and security." It passed after Russia, as well as China, Mozambique and Algeria abstained. IMAGES
The United States wants the war between Israel and Hamas to "end as soon as possible," the White House says, after Israel's defense minister told a top US official the conflict would last several months more. "How long that's going to take? I can't predict...but obviously we all want it to be over as soon as possible," US National Security Council spokesman John Kirby tells reporters in a briefing.
