He stated that the government has has positively engaged in all initiatives, yet the intransigence of the Houthi militia, its refusal to fulfill its obligations, its military and economic escalation and its deliberate undermining of any confidence-building measures have proven that the problem is not the absence of initiatives, but the absence of genuine will for peace on the part of the Houthis.
