"In the absence of the #UnitedStates either on confrontation or mediation and as the #world witnesses weakness in the U.S. 🇺🇸 role on Middle East issues, #China has made its first and most important initiative in regard of its engaging in the #MiddleEast issues,"
"#China is an important partner to #SaudiArabia and the #GCC, especially in #economic interests," AlHamed added. "This mediation confirms that #China wants to support its #economy and its position in the #MiddleEast."
Noting the ongoing demonstrations that have rocked #Iran, AlHamed said that "#Iran doesn't have options rather than complying to abide by #international law, and stop supporting #militias."
"#SaudiArabia will monitor and watch #Iran's commitment to the deal within two months before re-establishing diplomatic ties,"
"If Iran #respects the deal, we could witness and reach peace in #Yemen and free the #Arab world from the #Iranian #terrorist #militia threat."
