The foreign ministers of three European countries met with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Tuesday to discuss building peace in Yemen amid an escalating situation.
British foreign minister Dominic Raab said that he met with his German, French and American counterparts to discuss peace initiatives for Yemen.
“From pushing for peace in Yemen to preventing Iran from becoming a nuclear power, Britain, US, France, Germany stand together as force for good,” Raab tweeted, using emojis of the flags of the four countries in his message.
“Today @ABlinken @HeikoMaas @JY_LeDrian & I met in-person for the first time to discuss the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.”
The meeting came as Houthi rebels continued their advance into the northern province of Marib to capture it from Yemeni government forces.
On Monday, the coalition offered a ceasefire to the Houthis, which was rejected by the rebels.
The proposal included a partial reopening of Sanaa's international airport and the revival of a power-sharing mechanism between the Sanaa-based rebels and the Yemeni government.
