EU urges halt to Houthi operations, calls for humanitarian corridor in Taiz

The European Union has called for an immediate halt to all Houthi military operations in Yemen and attacks against Saudi Arabia, urging all parties, including Iran, to cease support for the group. The EU stressed that the conflict in Yemen cannot be resolved by military means.

The EU condemned the escalation by the Houthis, describing the attacks on Al-Maashiq Palace in Aden and the siege of Taiz as extremely serious acts, and called for the opening of a humanitarian corridor to the city.

The EU noted that Taiz remains under siege amid threats from a Houthi military buildup, and reiterated its support for Yemen's legitimate government and the Presidential Leadership Council.
