PressTV-US says ‘job not done’ in Yemen

There is remaining instability in Yemen and much more work needs to be done in the region, the White House said a day after Saudi Arabia indicated it would halt airstrikes against the impoverished nation.

“Obviously, the job is not done,” White House spokesperson Jen Psaki said Wednesday on CNN.

“There is remaining instability in the region, in Yemen,” she stated. “There’s a lot of work that needs to be done and we’re going to be doubling down and continuing to work on that with our partners around the world.”

On Tuesday, Saudi Arabia declared the end of “Decisive Storm” operation against Yemen, and announced the beginning of a new phase dubbed “Operation Restoring Hope,” Saudi state TV reported.

According to a Saudi military statement, the new operation would be aimed at commencing political talks and delivering aid.

The United States welcomed Saudi Arabia’s decision and called for talks to end the conflict.
