Houthi Denial of Trump's Ceasefire Claim
Houthi rebels dispute Trump's assertion of ceasefire appeal; retaliate with further attacks
United States President Donald Trump claims to have received a request from the Houthi movement in Yemen to halt airstrikes, offering a cessation of hostilities in return[1]. However, the Houthis swiftly rejected this narrative. Mohammed Ali al-Houthi, a senior member of the group's Supreme Political Council, denies any intention of retreat or compromise[1].
Al-Houthi's response? "What we refused to accept in Palestine, we will not accept in Yemen." He reaffirms the group's support for Gaza, threatening, "The response is coming, and Netanyahu must prepare for his resignation."
This exchange occurred merely hours after Israeli strikes targeted Sana'a International Airport, Amran's cement factory, and the Heziaz power station[1]. The attacks resulted in three fatalities and 38 injuries, according to Ansar Allah media outlets[1]. As a result, Yemenia Airlines has suspended all flights to and from Sana'a, citing severe damage to the passenger terminal, runway, and three commercial aircraft[1]. This unfolding saga in Yemen continues to shape the political landscape of the Middle East.
