(CNN)Mohammed Ali al-Houthi, a leader of the Houthi movement, announced on Sunday that he is ready to institute a ceasefire, so long as the Saudi-led coalition battling his militia in Yemen is prepared to do the same.
“We are willing to freeze and stop military operations on all fronts to reach a just and honorable peace if they really want peace for the Yemeni people,” al-Houthi, head of Yemen’s Houthi Supreme Revolutionary Committee, said in a statement.
Al-Houthi also said that his forces would stop launching missiles and drone attacks on “US-Saudi aggression countries and their allies in Yemen.” The United States has backed the Saudi-led coalition in its fight to expel Iranian-aligned Houthis from the Gulf country.
