UNSC to hold closed meeting on Yemen Monday

NEW YORK - 18 June 2018: The UN Security Council will convene a closed meeting later Monday to discuss developments in Yemen.

During the meeting, UN envoy for Yemen Martin Griffiths will post UNSC members on his comprehensive plan to achieve peace in Yemen.

Al Arabiya al Hadath, meanwhile, quoted UN sources as having said that no progress was made during Griffiths' talks with Houthi militias about Hodeidah.

Houthi leaders would not withdraw from Hodeidah Port and hand it over to UN supervision, according to the sources.

They demanded more time to study Griffiths' proposal, the sources added.
