U.S.-Houthi Ceasefire Unveiled, Excludes Israel Amid Regional Tensions
The U.S. has announced a ceasefire with Yemen's Houthis, but the group indicates attacks on Israel will continue.
While tensions may have eased between the United States and the Houthis, a resilient force that withstood years of heavy Saudi-led bombing in Yemen's civil war, the agreement does not rule out attacks on any other Israel-linked vessels or targets.

Summary
President Donald Trump has announced a ceasefire with Yemen's Houthis, ceasing U.S. airstrikes. However, Houthi leaders declared the agreement does not include Israel, maintaining the potential for ongoing attacks against Israel-linked targets and vessels. The ceasefire was brokered with the assistance of Oman and follows months of U.S. military action aimed at halting Houthi shipping assaults in the Red Sea. Despite this halt to U.S. strikes, past Houthi actions raise skepticism about the sustainability of the ceasefire. Regional tensions remain high, particularly after a Houthi missile landed near Israel, prompting further Israeli military responses.
Perspectives
Trump's decision to halt airstrikes against the Houthis in Yemen was prompted by the group's declaration of not wanting to fight anymore and their pledge to stop attacking U.S. vessels in the region.
The ceasefire agreement was brokered by Oman, ensuring that neither side will target the other, which is aimed at maintaining freedom of navigation in crucial shipping lanes.
While the Houthis have been linked to Iranian influence, the immediate cessation of bombing is presented as a diplomatic win for Trump's administration.
