nytimes.com - ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — The Pakistani Parliament voted on Friday to stay out of the conflict in Yemen, but it urged the government led by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to play a diplomatic role in defusing the crisis.
Analysts in the Arab world saw the decision as a significant setback for Saudi Arabia, which is leading a campaign of airstrikes against the Iranian-backed Houthi movement in Yemen. Saudi Arabia, a major donor to Pakistan, had incorrectly advertised Pakistani participation in the campaign from the night it began more than two weeks ago.
