\nThe commitments announced by UN special envoy for Yemen, Hans Grundberg, marked the latest effort to end a bloody conflict that has killed hundreds of thousands of people and unleashed one of the world\u2019s worst humanitarian tragedies.
\nThe Arabian Peninsula\u2019s poorest country has been gripped by war since the Iran-backed Houthi militia overran Sanaa in 2014, triggering an Arab-led military intervention in support of the government the following year.
\nA UN-brokered ceasefire brought a sharp reduction in hostilities in April 2022. The truce expired in October last year, though fighting largely remains on hold.
\nSaudi Arabia said in a statement it welcomed the UN announcement on Saturday of a \u201croadmap to support the path of peace.\u201d
\nIts foreign ministry encouraged Yemen\u2019s warring parties \u201cto sit at the dialogue table, to reach a comprehensive and lasting political solution under the auspices of the\u201d UN.
\nFellow mediator Oman also welcomed the development, saying it hopes a deal \u201cwill be signed as soon as possible.\u201d
\nQatar thanked the United Nations, Saudi Arabia and Oman for the peace push and urged the warring parties to accelerate an agreement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
