The Saudi kingdom has a green light from the United States and its allies to inflict death and destruction on Yemen, says an analyst.

“The Saudis were given literally permission by the United States and the rest of the international community ... to do whatever” they want in Yemen, Catherine Shakdam told Press TV on Wednesday.

“We are in a situation where criminality has been actually legitimized, rationalized and excused by the international community,” the director of the Shafaqna Institute for Middle Eastern Studies said.
