U.S. Special Envoy for Yemen Tim Lenderking is traveling to Saudi Arabia and Oman this week to continue discussions with partners regarding recent Houthi detentions of UN, diplomatic, and international NGO staff and to ensure efforts to bring an immediate end to Houthi attacks in the Red Sea and surrounding waterways. Houthi detentions and attacks threaten progress toward achieving a lasting solution to the conflict in Yemen and impede the delivery of humanitarian assistance to Yemenis and people in need throughout the region.
The United States strongly supports a lasting and inclusive peace in Yemen for the Yemeni people.
Special Envoy Lenderking plans to meet his counterparts to discuss steps to de-escalate the current situation and provide assistance to the Yemeni people.
