Al Arabiya broadcaster reported that President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi and a number of Yemeni government officials attended the parliamentary meeting. Only 141 out of 301 members of the Yemeni parliament attended the meeting, according to the broadcaster.
While addressing the meeting, the president accused the Shiite Houthi movement, also known as Ansar Allah, of derailing the peace process in the country and violating agreements concluded in Stockholm.
Yemen has been locked in a conflict between the government forces led by the president and the Houthi rebels. A Saudi-led coalition has been conducting strikes against the Houthis at Hadi's request since March 2015.
