Houthi Rebels Ink Ceasefire with US: Here's What You Need to Know
Houthis Pursue Ceasefire Compliance with United States - The Houthis seek prolongation of the truce with the United States
Hey there! Let's talk about the latest de-escalation in the Middle East. The Houthi rebels in Yemen have finally agreed to a truce with the US (yep, that's right, Uncle Sam!) - but there's a catch. The agreement hinges on Washington following suit. Houthi spokesman, Mohammed Abdel-Salam, announced this tidbit on Houthi-friendly TV channel Al-Masirah.
Why the hardline stance? Well, according to Abdel-Salam, the US has been playing on Israel's side in this whole melee. If the US cools off, so will the Houthis. But, if not, hold onto your seats - things are gonna get ugly.
The dialogue between the Houthis and mediator Oman has been ongoing for quite some time and has culminated in this announcement.
Although there's a potential détente with the US, the Houthis assure their unwavering support for the Palestinians in Gaza. Good times for 'Israel', huh? Not so much!
Ever since the Gaza war kicked off, the Houthis have been firing rockets at ships in the Red Sea with Israeli connections. They've been promising to stop this only when Israel calls off its attacks on Gaza. As per President Trump, this ceasefire is about the Red Sea ship attacks.
The Houthis have also been lobbing projectiles towards Israel for the same reason.

The US President has acknowledged the ceasefire agreement between the Houthis and the US, which is intended to address the Red Sea ship attacks that the Houthis have been carrying out towards Israel. However, the Houthis have made it clear that they will only cease these attacks once Israel also calls off its own attacks on Gaza. Meanwhile, the Houthi rebels in Yemen have assured their unwavering support for the Palestinians in Gaza amidst ongoing Middle East conflicts. The dialogue between the Houthis and mediator Oman has been ongoing, leading to this recent ceasefire announcement.
