  "summary": "Egypt's foreign minister has advocated for exploring all opportunities to resolve the Yemen conflict through diplomacy. This stance comes ahead of a parliamentary vote scheduled for next week regarding authorization for the Egyptian armed forces to support Saudi Arabia against the Iran-aligned Houthis, according to Al-Monitor.\n\nThe Yemeni government warned residents in Houthi-controlled areas to avoid gatherings organized by the militia, such as cultural courses and tribal mobilizations, stating these events are used to recruit children and young people. The Defence Ministry stated that such gatherings will be considered legitimate military targets.\n\nNeil Hop, the US Charge d’Affaires in Yemen, also accused the Houthi movement of recruiting children from streets and schools to be forced onto front lines. According to The National UAE, Hop claimed Houthi leaders target children from ordinary families, whom they refer to as \"zanabeel,\" rather than their own children.",
