Saudi Arabia has agreed to a ceasefire if the Houthi militants agree said the Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir on Monday.
Speaking to reporters in London , the Saudi Foreign Minister said, “We are prepared, the Yemeni government is prepared, to agree to a cessation of hostilities if the Houthis agree to it. The coalition countries will respect the desire of the Yemeni government.”
The Saudi government received heavy criticism this month, after an air strike on a funeral gathering in Yemen killed over 100 people according to the United Nations.
The United States and Britain, both which have supported the Saudi-led campaign called for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire between Houthis and the Saudi backed Yemeni government, reports Reuters.
