UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has expressed deep concern over Israel’s air attacks in and around the Yemeni port of Hodeidah, according to a statement sent to journalists.
“The Secretary-General calls on all concerned to avoid attacks that could harm civilians and damage civilian infrastructure,” Guterres said in the statement, while also calling for “utmost restraint” from all parties.
Guterres acknowledged Israel had “claimed responsibility for the strikes” and noted it was “in response for previous Houthi attacks on Israel”.
Yemen’s government denounces Israel, Houthis after Hodeidah attack
Yemen’s internationally recognised government has strongly condemned Israel over the attack on Hodeidah and warned the Iran-aligned Houthis against plunging the Yemeni people “into absurd battles in the interests of the Iranian regime”, according to the official Saba news agency.
The Yemeni government also warned Israel and Iran against “any attempt to turn Yemeni territory into an arena for their absurd wars and their subversive projects in the region”.
The government has been based in the southern city of Aden since 2015, when Houthis overtook the capital, Sanaa. The Houthis now control the country’s most populous areas.
