Houthi ceasefire proposal ‘a bid to foil Riyadh talks’

RIYADH: The newest ceasefire proposal by Iran-backed Houthis is an try to foil this week’s peace talks brokered by the Gulf Cooperation Council in Riyadh, Yemeni consultants stated on Sunday.

The militia have failed to point out they need a everlasting truce in Yemen, the consultants added.

Mahdi Al-Mashat, head of the Houthi Supreme Political Council, on Saturday introduced a unilateral halt to missile and drone assaults on Saudi Arabia, in addition to the suspension of navy operations in Yemen, primarily within the central province of Marib, for 3 days.
