US envoy: We gave the plan for a ceasefire to the Houthis; Saudi Arabia supports this plan. “We presented a plan for a ceasefire in Yemen led by the Houthis,” US Special Envoy to Yemen Timothy Lendkerking told a news conference today (Friday). The US diplomat claimed that the Saudi leadership fully supported Washington’s efforts to end the war in Yemen.
A “sound plan” for a nationwide ceasefire in Yemen has been before Houthi leadership for “a number of days,” but it appears the group is prioritizing a military offensive to take Marib, the U.S. special envoy on Yemen, Tim Lenderking, said on Friday.
Ansarullah reacts to US special envoy’s proposals: No proposal to end siege to put Yemen in a more dangerous position.
Ansarullah spokesman Mohammad Abdul Salam said: “There is nothing new in the American proposal and it reflects the vision of Saudi Arabia and the United Nations.” The US proposal does not call for an end to the siege.
