After Israel attacks Yemen’s airport, Trump announces Houthis have agreed to stop terror attacks, so US will stop bombing
U.S. President Donald J. Trump just announced in the Oval Office that the Houthi terrorists in Yemen have told American officials that they will stop all of their attacks, including on international shipping in and around the Red Sea.
“We will take them at their word and stop our bombing of Houthi targets,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio, at Trump’s side during a meeting with Canada’s new prime minister, called the Houthi decision an “important development.”
Not yet clear is whether the Houthis have also agreed to stop firing ballistic missiles at Israel.
Over the past month, the Houthis have fired at least 26 missiles at Israel from Yemen.
The surprise announcement comes after the Israeli Air Force has executed two waves of airstrikes against targets in the Houthi-controlled parts of Yemen, including the capital of Sana’a, in response to the missile attack on Israel’s Ben Gurion International Airport.
As ALL ISRAEL NEWS reported, yesterday afternoon IDF Arabic Spokesman Col. Avichay Adraee published an unprecedented evacuation order for the Sana’a International Airport, which was the largest of several targets that were struck.
Shortly afterwards, the Israeli strikes hit Sana’a Airport, several central power stations, and a concrete factory.
