British Foreign Office Spokesperson said: “We support the Saudi Arabian military intervention in Yemen"

British Foreign Office Spokesperson said:

“We support the Saudi Arabian military intervention in Yemen following President Hadi’s request for support by ‘all means and measures to protect Yemen and deter Houthi aggression.’ As the UN Security Council has made clear, President Hadi is Yemen's legitimate President.

“The recent Houthi actions and expansion in Aden and Taiz is a further signal of their disregard for the political process. Any action taken should be in accordance with international law.  

“Ultimately, the solution to the crisis must be a political one. The international community will continue to use diplomatic and humanitarian support to achieve long-term stability, avoid civil war, economic collapse and a deeper humanitarian crisis in Yemen.”
