arabia that it will do everything to end the yemeni civil war and eliminate civilian deaths but is caleb morgan explains that always around the policy. now at first glance it actually looks like washington is starting to distance itself from saudi arabia's war in yemen as washington scrambles over to the new defense bill the circuitry of state would have to search for its congress the sorry coalition is undertaking efforts to end the civil war and reduce the risk of harm to civilians. without the set's vacation the united states would be banned from refueling saudi coalition aircraft for missions exclusively focused on the civil war some media outlets are all over it but listen to the language undertaking efforts to end the civil war now that's a clever way of shielding themselves from criticism and allowing any real effort some measure their progress now the saudis have been saying the same thing for some time now that they are taking measures to cease the conflict and they've also been playing the mercy card they've actually donated a billion dollars to the united nations for relief in
