The United Nations’ special envoy for Yemen called for immediate action Wednesday to end the “dangerous escalatory cycle” in the war-torn country, particularly given recent attacks by Houthi rebels in the Red Sea.
“Three things need to happen in the immediate term to create an off-ramp to this dangerous escalatory cycle,” Hans Grundberg told the Security Council, calling for regional deescalation, for all parties to refrain from “military opportunism” and for progress towards a mediated agreement to be protected.
