It is necessary to raise pressure on Yemen’s Houthis so that they end their attacks in the region, notably on Saudi Arabia, France’s foreign ministry spokesperson says, according to Reuters.
“Our position is that it is necessary to increase pressure on the Houthis so that they put an end to their unacceptable attacks and provocations, particularly against Saudi territory, but not only there,” Pascal Confavreux tells a news conference in response to a question on whether Paris backs the idea of the European Union designating the Houthis as a terrorist organisation.
