A ceasefire deal between Yemen's Houthis and the U.S. does not include sparing Israel, the group said on Wednesday.

A ceasefire deal between Yemen’s Houthis and the United States does not include any operations against Israel, the group’s chief negotiator has announced. Mohammed Abdulsalam told the Reuters news agency on Wednesday that attacking Israel was not included in “any way, shape or form” in the agreement mediated by Oman.

A ceasefire between Yemen's Houthis and the U.S. excludes Israel, maintaining potential shipping disruptions in the Red Sea. The agreement to cease U.S. attacks, mediated by Oman, is conditional, given persistent Houthi-Israel tensions.
