The United States abruptly curbs the UN resolution on the ceasefire in Yemen

The reason for this delay continues to be a concern of the White House about the anger of Saudi Arabia, which strongly opposes the resolution of the conflict, according to many sources. CNN reported earlier this month that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman had "thrown a crisis" when he was presented with an early draft of the document, which resulted in delay and further talks between allies. Westerners on the issue.

According to sources, the concerns of the United States, shared by other countries – including the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait, both supporting Saudi Arabia in the conflict – are based on the real possibility that, if the resolution of the Security Council is passed, Saudi Arabia or the United States. The Houthis, or both, will not show up for the talks that are expected to take place next month in Stockholm, Sweden.

And this will continue to fuel questions about Trump's unusual deference to the kingdom.

The draft resolution, drafted by the United Kingdom and obtained by CNN, is already considered by human rights groups as unfortunately diluted: it calls for a ceasefire only in Hodeidah, the main Red Sea port crossed by about 80% of humanitarian aid.

The resolution is not at all critical of Saudi Arabia and in fact complements Saudi action; It is essential that the Houthi rebels, backed by Iran, fight against the Saudi coalition forces while maintaining control of the capital, Sana'a.

Although the resolution in its current form is far from harsh for the Saudis, informed sources told CNN that Saudi Arabia is calling for a ceasefire and asking for more help. in the form of indirect criticism of the kingdom and its four years of presence. intervention in Yemen.

"Extremely sensitive"

"The Saudis are extremely sensitive – ultra, ultra sensitive – to international perceptions," a source told CNN. "They hate criticism, and (the Crown Prince) brings a whole new level of paranoia about it."

The situation in Yemen is now considered the worst humanitarian crisis in the world, with about 13 million Yemenis threatened with starvation, according to the United Nations and human rights groups.

But one source states that no speech on human rights or responsibility should be included in the UN resolution, as it would be "undesirable for the coalition" to fight the Houthis.

The source told CNN that the drafters of the draft resolution knew that his criticism was directed only at the Houthis, but "we are confronted with a set of very stubborn allies." When you see this resolution not criticizing the Saudis, some of these is because they feel that the whole world is against them, they will continue this war ".

The conflict, which began in 2015 as a civil war after the overthrow of a strong leader, has gained momentum as Saudi Arabia and its allies have entered the battle to counter this. that they considered as an Iranian influence. The Gulf coalition received logistical and intelligence support from the United States, the United Kingdom and France, who also sold arms to Saudi Arabia.

After nearly four years, the war has killed about 57,000 people, according to the project data location and event of armed conflict, a crisis mapping project.
