Houthis Reject Talks Near Bab al-Mandab
The Saudi Deputy Foreign Minister stated that Riyadh proposed to the Houthi group to hold a meeting in Oman aimed at resolving differences and ending the escalation, but the group declined to participate. He clarified that Saudi Arabia initiated the request for the meeting before the escalation of ground events, as the Houthis' control expanded near the Bab al-Mandab Strait. This led the Saudi-led coalition to launch a military operation to recapture the areas. Saudi Arabia has accused Iran of providing military support to the Houthis. Meanwhile, Houthi attacks on vital facilities have resulted in the deaths of 19 people, including repeated missile strikes on Riyadh Airport throughout October, amid rising tensions and their impact on maritime security in the Red Sea.
