The president of Yemen's Supreme Political Council, Mahdi al-Mashat, accused Saudi Arabia of reneging on its commitments and increasing its blockade of Yemen, saying that the aggression created "the biggest humanitarian crisis in the world, according to the UN's own reports." He emphasized that Riyadh violated its "promises as a form of punishment against our people for supporting Gaza", and continued military mobilization by "mobilizing forces, training its mercenaries, establishing armies and supplying all types of weapons" in preparation for the renewed aggression. Al-Mashat said that "Saudi Arabia has carried out almost 3,000 airstrikes, killing more than 562 civilians, most of them women and children. He reiterated that Yemen's response follows the equation of "siege to siege and escalation to escalation", while confirming that Sana'a remains open to peace initiatives.
