Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov held the United States responsible for the possible extension of the conflict in the Middle East due to its attacks on Yemen.

He said, “The United States must join the settlement of the conflict in the Middle East as an honest participant that guarantees the interests of the Palestinian people.”

This month, the United States and Britain carried out repeated strikes on Houthi sites recently with the aim of disrupting and weakening the group's ability to threaten navigation in the Red Sea and undermine global trade.

While the Houthis say that they are targeting ships owned or operated by Israeli companies or transporting goods to and from Israel, in solidarity with the Gaza Strip, which has been under an Israeli attack since the seventh of last October.
