00:01Egypt's Foreign Minister Badr Abdelati chose clear words on Thursday.
00:07The ongoing conflict between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis, a Yemen-based rebel group,
00:12would need to be de-escalated immediately.
00:15He also reiterated Egypt's support for Saudi Arabia.
00:23All opportunities must be explored to reach political solutions that guarantee a full
00:29withdrawal from the territories that were recently occupied to the positions held before 1 September,
00:39so that we can move forward along the political path that we have consistently emphasized.
00:46I also stress the importance of reaching political solutions and de-escalation, whether in Iran,
00:52Yemen, Sudan or Libya.
00:57This is because military solutions will only lead to further destruction and ruin, highlighting
01:04the necessity of promoting, advancing and strengthening political solutions.
01:16The Houthis launched a major offensive in September, first against the Yemenite government, before
01:21expanding their attacks to Saudi Arabia.
01:24Saudi Arabia has been struggling to fully defend itself.
