MUSCAT: UN special envoy for Yemen Hans Grundberg met Huthi rebel officials in Oman on Thursday to discuss "the necessity to stabilize the situation" in the Arabian Peninsula country. The Huthis form part of Iran's "axis of resistance" against Israel and the United States, and since the war in Gaza broke out in October 2023. They have also targeted ships they accuse of having ties to Israel in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, sparking a US-led bombing campaign aimed at securing the key shipping lanes. In a statement posted on X, Grundberg's office said he "met today in #Muscat with senior Omani officials, members of Ansar Allah (Huthi) leadership and representatives of the diplomatic community". The talks "centered on the necessity to stabilize the situation in #Yemen to allow all Yemenis to live in dignity and prosperity and to address the legitimate concerns of all stakeholders including the region and the international community", it added.
