A Saudi delegation has arrived in the Yemeni city of Sanaa to negotiate with the Houthis, as multiple reports have indicated a peace deal between the warring sides is near.
Omani officials also arrived in Sanaa this weekend as Muskat has been brokering talks between the Saudis and Houthis. According to Houthis media, the head of the Houthi Supreme Political Council, Mahdi al-Mashat, will meet with the Saudi and Omani envoys to discuss ending hostilities and lifting the blockade.
The Houthis main demands for a peace deal have been a complete lifting of the blockade that the US-backed Saudi-led coalition has imposed on Yemen since 2015. They also want government salaries to be paid using revenue from Yemeni oil and gas exports. Sources told Reuters that the Saudi-Houthi talks will focus on fulfilling these conditions.
