What on earth makes you think that Biden or any of the Team D or Team R leadership cares?
These are sociopaths that are leading us, or at least they display behavior indistinguishable from that of high-functioning (in the sense that they can more convincingly fake empathy) sociopaths.
Once you recognize this, everything becomes clear.
I doubt that Democratic progressives have any influence on Biden and Blinken. They see no problem aligning the US with the most repressive regimes in the Middle East: Saudi Arabia, UAE, Israel, and Egypt. No problem with starving Afghanistan, no problem with crushing Syria’s economy and stealing its oil, no problem with keeping in place sanctions on Venezuela, or in maintaining Trump and Pompeo’s designation of Cuba as a state sponsor of terrorism, also, no problem in threatening to cut off Germany’s access to Russian energy. Sanctions and military threats are their only tools, so why will they suddenly develop a conscience over Yemen?
The US goal is to keep the dollars flowing into the coffers of the US military contractors. This pumps up the American GDP, making America the "richest country in the world". There is no other explanation for the war in Yemen, other than this diabolical cycle. Or are we going to blame all the crimes on the Saudis and the UAE? That would be the same argument used by the gun lobby: its the criminals, not the guns, who kill people. How can the American political class accept its complicity in these crimes? Who in America allows this to happen?
