Yemen's head of peace negotiations Mohammed Abdul-Salam revealed in a televised interview that Riyadh continues to procrastinate [in] the release of the Palestinian detainees in Saudi Arabia in a swap deal with Saudis under the custody of Ansarullah and the Yemeni army.
Mohammed Abdul-Salam says the Saudi stalling is proof that Riyadh is just an agent that serves US and Israeli interests in the region.
This come as rights activists' calls for a complete end to Saudi aggression and the removal of its blockade continue to fall on deaf ears. This as the war-torn country's fight against the coronavirus pandemic has intensified with the emergence of new COVID-19 cases.
Nevertheless, Mohammed Abdul-Salam says that Riyadh continues to ban aid flights into the country.
Earlier, Ansarullah leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi renewed his offer to release a Saudi pilot and five officers in return for Hamas detainees.
Experts say Saudi Arabia is proving that it is just a puppet for the US and Israel and that it cannot even serve the interests of its own people let alone than the interests of the people of the region.
