On Wednesday, the US special envoy to Yemen, Tim Lenderking, affirmed the existence of an unparalleled international and regional consensus to end the conflict in Yemen.

In a brief statement published by the US State Department's Twitter account, Lenderking congratulated Yemenis on the occasion of Eid al-Adha, and expressed his hope that the international consensus would contribute to a permanent ceasefire and a political solution.

"While we celebrate Eid al-Adha, the conflict in Yemen continues," Lenderking said.

He hoped that the unparalleled international and regional consensus would contribute to pushing for a comprehensive cease-fire and entering into a political solution to the country's crisis, stressing the importance of this international consensus succeeding in attracting the Yemeni parties to negotiation in good faith, through which the Yemenis are brought comfort.

The US envoy wished "all Yemenis around the world, especially those who spend this holiday away from their families and friends... a happy Eid and a valid Hajj."
