Al-Mekhlafi said in the interview with Alkhet Alahmer (the red line) program in the Yemeni Al Ghad Al Mushreq TV channel that the role of the Arab Coalition is not limited to establishing the Yemeni legitimacy through sacrifices being made in honourable combat fields. Their role also includes supporting the Yemeni people through Saudi's King Salman Centre for Humanitarian Aid and Relief and the UAE's Emirates Red Crescent, which he described them by key pillars of reconstruction efforts in Yemen, now and in the future

Regarding to the Arab coalition role in Yemen , Al-Mekhlafi said the Arab Coalition extended considerable support to Yemen because its members were aware of the seriousness of the situation, which prompted them to take a unified and clear stance to prevent an Arab country from being lost, he also underlined the "importance of stopping Iran from expanding in the region"

"The legitimate government spared no efforts to break the stalemate and did all it can to reach a comprehensive and just peace based on the agreed regional and international terms of reference," he said, adding that the intransigence of the rebels is what has prolonged the crisis because they have no intention to offer any solution
