It all sounds a bit fishy

Speaking about the Houthis, President Trump said the US is going to stop dropping bombs on Yemen. He said the Houthis have given some kind of pledge not to attack shipping lanes and wind down their activities.

There’s no evidence of that whatsoever. He was asked what his source is, and he responded, “Oh no, it’s a very good source” and giggled with Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio – like we know the source type thing.

But there are no reciprocal statements yet from the Houthis.

I wonder what the Houthis got in return...

Yeah looks rather one-sided

Houthis to evaluate US halt of ‘aggression’ after Trump announcement

The head of Yemen’s Houthi supreme revolutionary committee, Mohammed Ali al-Houthi, says the US halt of “aggression” against Yemen will be evaluated.

He said the group would continue to support Gaza to end the war there, indicating the ceasefire with the US did not include a halt of the group’s attacks on Israel.

Translation: With Trump announcing the cessation of US aggression against Yemen, it will be evaluated on the ground first. It is a victory that separates American support for the temporary entity from a failure for Netanyahu, and he must resign.


Israel is continuing bombing Yemen regardless

Netanyahu, Katz call Yemen strikes a message to Iran

The Israeli prime minister and defence minister call the attacks on Sanaa part of the response to the Houthis strike on Ben Gurion airport in Tel Aviv on Sunday.

“Our choice of when to respond, how to respond, and what targets to strike is a consideration that we are constantly making,” Netanyahu said in a statement. “We will settle accounts with whoever attacks the state of Israel.”

Katz added: “Whoever harms us – we harm them seven-fold.”

“This is also a warning to the head of the Iranian octopus: you bear direct responsibility for the attack by the Houthi tentacle against the state of Israel, and you will also be held accountable for the results.”

Both Katz and Netanyahu said Israel’s attack will undermine the Houthis’ transport abilities. Observers have noted Saana’s airport served as one of the few means of travel for civilians living in the Houthi-controlled area.


And the Houthis will continue targeting Israel

‘No turning back from supporting Gaza’: Houthi official

Mahdi al-Mashat, head of the Houthis’ supreme political council, issued a message of defiance in the face of Israel’s recent attacks, saying the Yemeni group will not abandon Gaza “no matter the cost”.

“What happened proves that our strikes are painful and will continue,” al-Mashat said, as quoted by the Houthi-affiliated Al Masirah TV.

He warned that the Houthis’ response to Israel “will be devastating and painful”.

“No aggression will deter us from our decision to support Gaza until the aggression stops and the siege is lifted,” al-Mashat added.
