Oman brokers US-Yemen ceasefire, Israelis in dark regarding deal

Al Mayadeen English

Oman mediates a ceasefire between the US and Sanaa, but Ansar Allah pledges continued operations against “Israel” over its aggression on Gaza.

The Omani Foreign Ministry announced on Tuesday that it had successfully brokered a ceasefire agreement between the United States and the authorities in Sanaa, aimed at achieving mutual de-escalation.

According to a statement from Muscat, the agreement entails a commitment by both sides, Washington and the Sanaa-based government, not to target each other in future military operations.

“The Sultanate thanks both parties for their constructive approach that led to this welcome outcome,” the statement read, emphasizing Oman’s longstanding diplomatic efforts in mediating regional conflicts.

US President Donald Trump had earlier declared an immediate halt to US airstrikes on Yemen, claiming that Yemeni authorities had promised to cease attacks on vessels in the Red Sea.

‘Trump surprised us’

The declaration appears to have caught the Israeli occupation off guard, with Axios journalist Barak Ravid quoting a senior Israeli official saying, “We didn’t know about this. Trump surprised us.”

Despite Trump’s claims of a breakthrough, Ansar Allah denied that any such concession had been made. In an interview with Bloomberg, Mohammed al-Bukhaiti, a member of the group’s Political Council, affirmed that military operations in the Red Sea and against “Israel” would continue until the aggression on Gaza ends and the siege on its people is lifted.

  1. Acording to my world map, Sanaa is in Yemen, on the southwestern coastal plains beside the Red Sea. The southwestern tip of the Arabian peninsula. The players’ names mean nothing to me. Well, good for King Donnie, if he’s negotiating to ease conflict that has the whole world in a dither.

      • Good. Trump wants to be loved. He has aligned with Israel and the UK, and seems to have resumed picking on Yemen. Problem is, there are more Muslims than there are Christians and Jews, and they are everywhere. The oil under Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and the natural gas plus resources in China, are generating world pressure to revive the traditional belt and road, but to insure it covers the seas, too, with Russia’s assistance.

  3. The only reason Trump is negotiating at all, is that the Houthis are winning and the US cannot afford this war and for all his bluster he knows the Houthis can take out many more US Pacific fleet ships including carriers, if they chose to.

    He’s been behaving like a prat of the first order and I just wish he would engage whatever brain he has before opening his cake hole.

  4. The weird thing is that the Houthis were mainly bombing other US merchant vessels using the Suez Canal. They didn’t start bombing US ships big time until the US started bombing them.
