The chairman of Yemen's Presidential Leadership Council, Rashad al-Alimi, has stated that his government has no plans for a truce with the Houthis. He emphasized that they are not seeking a new truce that mirrors past agreements and instead advocate for lasting and sustainable peace based on a state with a monopoly on weapons and sovereignty.
Alimi further asserted that the internationally recognized government has come to the conclusion that the Houthis represent a "project of war and destruction, not a project of peace." He also noted that international attention has shifted from accommodating the Houthis to protecting Yemen, international navigation, the region, and international peace and security.
Alimi reiterated that there will be no action by Houthi militias from now on without a response or comprehensive deterrence, stating that their strategic objective is to restore state institutions and bring down the Houthi coup.
