Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El Sisi spoke by phone late on Wednesday with Yemeni President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi and discussed the United Nations efforts to end the war in Yemen, El-Sisi spokesman said. The two leaders discussed the latest development in Yemen, most notably the UN-sponsored peace ralks between warring parties in Yemen, Bassam Rady said in a statement published on Facebook. “El-Sisi emphasized Egypt's commitment to supporting the political solution in Yemen within a framework that seeks to preserve the unity and stability of Yemen and its legitimate government,” he added. The United Nations is sponsoring efforts to end the nearly four-year-old conflict in Yemen under a peace plan that calls for a ceasefire between the Saudi-led coalition and Iranian-aligned Houthis, and the formation of a transitional governance deal. During the call, the two leaders agreed on the need to avert any endeavor to circumvent the political course to solve the Yemeni crisis and agreed to continue future coordination to offer support and humanitarian assistance to Yemen.
