ADEN, Yemen, Feb. 7 (Xinhua) In his first foreign policy speech since taking office, U.S. President Joe Biden said on Thursday that the U.S. will no longer support the Saudi Arabia-led coalition s offensive operations in Yemen. But some analysts doubt if the U.S. policy shift will have a major impact on the war in the Arab country.
This is the latest of a series of policy changes that Biden has announced on Yemen and the U.S. ties with Saudi Arabia. The U.S. president already suspended arms sales to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), which have been deeply involved in the Yemeni war, and lifted some sanctions on the Houthis in Yemen.

ADEN, Yemen, Feb. 7 (Xinhua) Yemen s government said on Sunday that the U.S. revocation of designating the Houthi rebel group as a foreign terrorist organization would complicate Yemen s years-long crisis.
Yemen s Information Minister Muammar Iryani said in a press statement that the revocation sends a wrong messages to the rebel group and its Iranian backers by giving them more courage to continue their violent military approach.
The minister said the move by the new U.S. government under President Joe Biden will contribute to complicating the Yemeni crisis, prolonging the coup, and will exacerbate the humanitarian suffering caused by the years-long war that was waged by the militias.
