France Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Says on November 13 That Pressure on Yemen Houthis Must Rise, as Saudi Arabia Presses the EU to Designate the Group and Six European Officials Note Concerns for a Future Peace Process
It is necessary to raise pressure on Yemen Houthis so that they end their attacks in the region, notably on Saudi Arabia, France foreign ministry spokesperson said on Friday.
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 told a news conference.
He was responding to a question on whether Paris backed the idea of the European Union designating the Houthis as a terrorist organisation.
Saudi Arabia is pressing the EU for the move, but has yet to overcome European concerns that this could undermine a future peace process, six European officials told Reuters on Thursday.
