SANAA, Sept 21 (NNN-SABA) – The Houthis on Friday, announced a peace initiative, to stop attacks on Saudi Arabia with drones and ballistic missiles, a senior Houthi official was cited by the Houthi-controlled al-Masirah TV.
“We announce the stop of targeting Saudi soil,” Mahdi al-Mashat, Houthi president of the Supreme Political Council, said in a speech, to mark his group’s fifth year of revolution, against the exiled government of President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi.
“We are waiting for Saudi response, to halt all attacks on our country…and we reserve all rights to defend ourselves, in case that Saudi Arabia rejects our peace initiative,” he said.
The Houthi leader also called on all Yemeni parties to engage in internal talks, to achieve a “comprehensive national reconciliation.”
He called on Saudi Arabia to lift blockade on Sanaa International Airport and to allow commercial ships to enter Hodeidah port.
The Houthi leader expressed his group’s readiness to carry out an all-out prisoner swap.
The Houthis, last week, claimed responsibility for drone attacks on Saudi’s two major Aramco plants that temporarily halted half of Saudi oil output.– NNN-SABA
