Yemen’s Information Minister stated that his country is being pressured to normalize ties with Israel.

(ABNA.IR) - Hassan al-Luzi stated yesterday that his country is being pressured to act in opposition to the Arab stance regarding Israel and to normalize ties with this country.

He added: “We have strengthened our ties with America so that we could be safe, to a certain extent, from Israeli pressure.”

Yemen’s Information Minister did not disclose the particulars of this pressure, but added: “The relationship between Yemen and America is positive. It is strong and based upon the fight against Al-Qaeda being a common enemy. This relationship will not harm Palestine or its national interests.”
