Saudi newspapers highlighted in their editorials today a number of issues at local, regional and international arenas. Al-Sharq and Al-Riyadh newspapers said in their editorials that despite international attempts to reach an agreed solution between the legitimate forces and the coup militias in Yemen, but there are continuing violations preventing such agreements as happened on Friday when the Royal Saudi Air Defense Forces intercepted a missile fired by militias of Al-Houthi and the ousted President targeting of the city of Najran. They explained that Yemen's Representative to the United Nations, Ambassador Khalid Al-Yamani has renewed his government's commitment to peace and its earnest desire to access it provided that is based on the three terms of reference. Al-Sharq said that despite attempts being made by the UN envoy to Yemen, Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed to revive the political track in cooperation with the Security Council, but Al-Houthi forces continues to increase conflict and failing to stop it and this is proven by the report of the UN Sanctions Committee on Yemen that the coup militias have obtained sophisticated Iranian weapons while the son of the deposed President involved in money laundering and suspicious financial operations contributed to the destabilization of the situation in the country. Al-Riyadh paper stressed that based on the Committee's report, the coup rebels have possessed new advanced weapons in the war, including anti-tank missiles and armored vehicles that were not in the possession of the Yemeni army before the outbreak of the war. It concluded that it became necessary pushing the political process through international coordination to stop arming the militias of Al-Houthi and the ousted President and exerting pressure on them to commit to the political dialogue. --More
