Houthi rebels in Yemen announce plan to halt attacks on Saudi Arabia as part of peace initiative, calling on Riyadh to do the same
Yemen's Houthis announce the halt of all attacks against the territory of Saudi Arabia, hoping “the gesture would be answered by a stronger gesture" from the Saudis.
Mehdi al Mashat, head of the Houthis' supreme political council, announced in a speech marking the 2014 rebel seizure of the capital Sanaa "the halt of all attacks against the territory of Saudi Arabia". The Houthis claimed responsibility for the attacks, but Riyadh's ally Washington has placed the blame on Iran, which backs the Yemeni insurgents.
