A unilaterally declared Saudi ceasefire collapsed last year.<button class=\"vjs-big-play-button\" title=\"Play Video\" type=\"button\" aria-disabled=\"false\"><\/button><\/p>\n<h2>\u2018Nothing new\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>The offer was welcomed by Hadi\u2019s government in a statement from the foreign ministry based in the southern port of Aden.<\/p>\n<p>But the Houthis said the initiative provided \u201cnothing new\u201d, as it still fell short of their demand for a complete lifting of the blockade on Sanaa airport and Hodeidah port.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSaudi Arabia must declare an end to the aggression and lift the blockade completely, but putting forward ideas that have been discussed for over a year is nothing new,\u201d said spokesman Mohammed Abdulsalam, according to the rebels\u2019 Al-Masirah television.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe expected that Saudi Arabia would announce an end to the blockade of ports and airports and an initiative to allow in 14 ships that are held by the coalition,\u201d Abdulsalam said in separate comments to Reuters news agency.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOpening the airports and seaports is a humanitarian right and should not be used as a pressure tool.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-inc=\"2\">Saudi Arabia has long accused Iran of supplying the Houthis with military aid. Iran denies the allegation, saying it only supports the rebels diplomatically and politically.<\/p>\n<p>Yemen\u2019s war broke out in late 2014 when the Houthis seized large swaths of the country, including Sanaa. Fighting escalated significantly in March 2015 when Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates assembled a United States-backed military coalition in an attempt to restore Hadi\u2019s government.<\/p>\n<p>Tens of thousands of people have since been killed in the deadlocked conflict, with much of the impoverished country\u2019s infrastructure destroyed and millions pushed to the brink of starvation. Nearly 80 percent of Yemen\u2019s nearly 30 million people depend on foreign aid.<\/p>\n<p>The announcement by Saudi Arabia comes as fighting rages around the strategic northern city of Marib and the Saudi-led coalition launching air raids as recently as Sunday targeting Sanaa. A UN mission said another suspected air raid hit a food production company in the port city of Hodeidah.<\/p>\n<p>The proposal also follows the Houthis stepping up a campaign of drone and missile attacks targeting the kingdom\u2019s oil sites, briefly shaking global energy prices amid the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>Analysts, meanwhile, say Saudi Arabia, which has been internationally criticised for air raids killing civilians and embargoes exacerbating hunger, is keen to rehabilitate its image with the US under new President Joe Biden.<\/p>\n<p data-inc=\"3\">Ibrahim Fraihat, associate professor of conflict resolution at the Doha Institute, told Al Jazeera a significant difference compared with previous peace initiatives was that this time there is \u201ca strong political will by the Biden administration that has been openly saying that this war must end\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a serious US intervention,\u201d he added, noting that the Saudi initiative could be seen \u201cas a way to comply with the US efforts \u2026 and throw the ball again in the court of the Houthis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Also on Monday, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a Twitter post he had spoken to Prince Faisal \u201con our work together to end the conflict in Yemen, facilitate humanitarian access and aid for the Yemeni people, and defend the Kingdom from external threats. Also discussed the need for continued progress on human rights\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>There are fears, however, the Houthi push into Marib \u2013 which until recently has been relatively peaceful and stable because of well-protected oilfields nearby \u2013 threatens to ignite more fighting elsewhere in Yemen.<\/p>\n<p>The UN has been attempting to renew diplomatic efforts to end the war \u2013 especially following the recent uptick in violence in Marib \u2013 but to no avail.<\/p>\n<p>Prince Faisal said Saudi Arabia was \u201cfully committed\u201d to working with the UN to bring this conflict to an end, adding that the kingdom wanted all \u201cguns to fall completely silent\u201d.<\/p>\n<p data-inc=\"4\">\u201cThat is the only thing that can really help us get to the next step, which is a political process and resolution that can make Yemen safe and secure,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Fraihat noted, however, that six years of war have resulted in a severe mistrust between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo one trusts anyone,\u201d he said. \u201cSo just an initiative without action or changes on the ground, I don\u2019t think anyone would be willing to immediately \u2026 respond very positively without seeing additional assurances,\u201d Fraihat added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOpening the Sanaa airport, though it\u2019s an important step, I don\u2019t think it\u2019s enough in order to repair the damaged trust between the two parties. We need to see more of this, and also we need to see serious delivery of humanitarian assistance, whether to Sanaa airport or other places in order to build confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saudi Arabia has announced a plan to offer its rivals in Yemen\u2019s long-running
