On Sunday, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Oman, Badr al-Busaidi, welcomed the Vatican Pope's call for an end to hostilities in Yemen, in which he expressed his deep concern for the dangerous humanitarian situation in the besieged city of Taiz, and emphasized the Sultanate's support for efforts to reduce the escalation and provide aid to all Yemenis. This came in a blog post by Al-Busaidi on his account on the "X" platform, in which he quoted a tweet from Pope Leo. The Pope added in his tweet: "I appeal from the bottom of my heart to stop the hostilities and guarantee the right of the Yemeni people and all the peoples of the region to live in peace." The Omani Foreign Minister said in his response: "We welcome the call of His Holiness the Pope to put an end to the hostilities and allow the people of Yemen and the peoples of the entire region to live in peace." He added: "The Sultanate of Oman reaffirms its ongoing commitment to support dialogue, de-escalation and the provision of humanitarian assistance to all Yemenis for more.
