The United Nations has expressed deep concern over the escalating military confrontation between Israel and Yemen’s Houthis, warning that the intensifying conflict is worsening conditions in Yemen and threatening broader regional stability.
In a statement, the UN has called on all parties to exercise maximum restraint and prioritize the protection of civilians and critical infrastructure. The organization emphasized that the only viable path to sustainable peace in Yemen lies in resuming an inclusive Yemeni-Yemeni dialogue.
The warning comes amid reports from the Houthi Group that Israeli forces have launched airstrikes targeting Sana’a International Airport. The Houthis claim the airport was hit earlier today in what they described as an unprovoked escalation.
In response, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant announced a new phase in Israel’s military strategy, stating, “We will intensify our strikes on Yemeni airports and ports. We will destroy strategic infrastructure belonging to the Houthis and those who support them.”
Minister Gallant also confirmed that Israel has imposed a maritime and aerial blockade on Houthi-controlled areas, a move likely to further strain the humanitarian situation in Yemen, already one of the world's most critical crises.
The rapidly escalating conflict has drawn international attention and raised fears of a wider confrontation involving multiple regional actors. The United Nations continues to urge a diplomatic resolution and renewed commitment to peace talks.
