On the other hand, the White House welcomed the acceptance of the GCC proposal for power transfer by the Yemeni government and opposition. Spokesman for the House said in a statement that his country hailed taking the GCC proposal to end the Yemen crisis and for an orderly and peaceful transition of power. " The U.S. supports a peaceful power transfer in Yemen and urges the political parties to accelerate implementing the proposal terms to meet the aspirations of the Yemeni people," said Jay Carney. |
