The coalitions ceasefire announcement, if it holds, is good news, and I welcome @RepAdamSmith statement here. Congress has an important role to play here in demonstrating its continued strong interest in seeing the war in Yemen resolved through a peace agreement. https://twitter.com/repadamsmith/status/1248046466406350848">https://twitter.com/repadamsm...

All parties to the conflict need to keep this in mind as they think about the next steps they take. Peace has to be the priority.

5/x I hope those at @StateDept @WHNSC @DeptofDefense are keeping this in the front of their mind as they make choices about how to seize the moment for talks to move forward.

I hope this is a sign of things turning positively for the conflict, and I’m a cautious optimist, always.
