Oman condemns US, UK airstrikes in Yemen

MUSCAT, Jan. 12 (YPA) – The Sultanate of Oman condemned US-British airstrikes on a number of cities and provinces in Yemen.

The Foreign Ministry expressed that it is following with great concern the developments of the American-British bombing that affected several cities in the sisterly Republic of Yemen, and it can only condemn the resort to this military action by friendly countries, while Israel persists in its bombing, brutal war, and siege of the Gaza Strip without accountability or punishment.

The Ministry confirmed that the Sultanate of Oman has repeatedly warned of the expansion of the circle of conflict and confrontation in the region as a result of the ongoing Israeli aggression against the occupied Palestinian territories, especially the killing, abuse, destruction and starvation operations against civilians and residents in the Gaza Strip.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs reiterated the position of the Sultanate of Oman calling for a just and comprehensive peace in order to achieve security and stability in the region and revive growth and prosperity for all. It appealed to all parties to stop the escalation and military operations and focus on addressing the root and real causes of the crisis.
