The UAE categorically denied on Wednesday media reports that it is involved in talks with the US over a ground offensive by military factions in Yemen against the Houthi group.

"Among all the wild unsubstantiated stories going around, that one surely wins the misleading-news-of-the-week award, by a wide margin,” Lana Nusseibeh, UAE's Assistant Minister for Political Affairs, said in a statement sent to Khaleej Times.

Meanwhile, in October last year, a resolution submitted by the UAE on the humanitarian needs of Yemeni people – on behalf of the Arab Group – was adopted by consensus by the Human Rights Council at the conclusion of its 57th session.

The resolution also reiterated the call to end the conflict in Yemen, and pursue a meaningful political dialogue for peace.
