Saudi Arabian foreign minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan al Saud says his country plans to offer Yemen’s Houthi rebels a nationwide ceasefire agreement.
The agreement would halt fighting in Yemen’s six-year-long civil war and allow the airport in Yemen’s Houthi-controlled capital Sana’a to reopen.
While the Iran-backed Houthis have criticised the proposed deal, saying it brings nothing new to the table and fails to comply with several of their key demands, they say they remain open to peace negotiations.
