Saudi Arabia has reportedly offered the Houthis a two-week ceasefire as Yemen’s war enters a fresh escalation. Riyadh sent the proposal through Oman, with humanitarian issues and easing the blockade potentially forming the basis of initial talks. The move comes as Houthi forces expand their presence along Yemen’s Red Sea coast, with reported gains around Mokha and Mayun Island raising concerns over the strategic Bab El-Mandeb shipping route. Fresh diplomacy now collides with intensifying battlefield pressure and growing risks for regional energy supplies.
