Yemeni Houthi rebels' initiative to halt attacks on Saudi Arabia 'could send a powerful message of the will to end the war' in the country – Martin Griffiths, UN envoy for Yemen
The statement from UN envoy for Yemen came after Houthi rebels announced a halt in all attacks against the territory of Saudi Arabia, hoping “the gesture would be answered by a stronger gesture" from the Saudis.
Martin Griffiths' comments Saturday came hours after the Houthi announcement, and a week after the rebels claimed a strike that crippled a key oil facility in Saudi Arabia. He added that he hoped "the gesture would be answered by a stronger gesture" from the Saudis, according to the rebels' Al-Masirah television channel.
President Donald Trump and the US Treasury Department on Friday laid out the latest in a series of economic sanctions against the Islamic republic.
