In response, Sana'a condemned the coalition, calling the agreement a cover for the continuation of the Saudi aggression against Yemen, Press TV reported. "Whoever wants to participate with the Saudi aggressor in its 12-year-long aggression and blockade is an aggressor, even if they wrap this participation in glittering title”, he said in a statement, warning that Yemeni law defines how to deal with hostile states. The statement advised Riyadh to stop its aggression and siege of Yemen, rather than floundering in search of solutions to the crisis it has dragged itself into. The government had fled the country amid a power struggle, prompting Ansarullah, Yemen’s popular resistance movement, to start running state affairs. Following a fragile UN-brokered ceasefire in 2022, the United States, Britain, and the Israeli regime waged many rounds of wholesale aggression against Yemen.
