This news might be premature. AZ is linking to Tasnim which is sourcing from Al Mayadeen.

Mohammad Al-Bukhaiti only says UAE should withdraw in the interview.

https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/exclusive--armistice-to-be-agreed-upon-before-eid-al-fitr:-a

quote:

Yemeni Ansar Allah political bureau member, Mohammad Al-Bukhaiti, pointed out on Friday that the UAE taking part alongside Saudi Arabia in the aggression against Yemen was a big mistake, stressing that the UAE should draw lessons and withdraw from the country.

"We will not allow the presence of any UAE forces on any inch of Yemeni territory," Al-Bukhaiti told Al Mayadeen.

The Yemeni official revealed that there is an understanding with Saudi Arabia but said he cannot disclose its details, adding that he cannot confirm or deny the news that a Saudi-Omani delegation will visit Sanaa soon.

The UAE going it alone would be very unlikely, so I guess we'll see soon.

Saudi Arabia frees 13 Houthis as Oman tries to broker new truce


quote:

Abdul-Qader el-Murtaza, a Houthi official in charge of prisoner exchange talks in Yemen’s conflict, said on Twitter that 13 Houthi prisoners have arrived in Sanaa.

He said the prisoners were released in exchange for a Saudi prisoner the Houthis had freed earlier.

This swap comes ahead of a negotiated release by the United Nations of 887 prisoners held by the Houthi and the internationally recognized Yemen government.

Also you know, Kurds and other groups that while affected negatively by the invasion, have reason to see it as a net positive.

How exactly did this deal shake out anyway? What did Xi do or promise to do? Admittedly it doesn’t have to be much since the US’s offer was “nothing” followed by “we outright want the war to continue because we hate Iran” but still.

i mean international mediation is a well precedented thing. im sure china just ferried its diplomats back and forth, trying to get both sides to compromise enough to make this happen. there certainly is an appetite for peace given that the ceasefire has held well past the date it expired, even after those talks broke down.

of course china was able to accomplish this because they are perceived as a neutral and honest broker in the region, while the US is correctly perceived as neither of those things.

in addition to this my view is that the US is not just uninterested in peace but actively thwarts peace efforts because keeping the various regional powers tied down in a protracted conflict is in US interests
