Oman has been tasked by Riyadh to mediate a 14 day lull in hostilities with the Houthis to resolve the humanitarian crisis in Yemen. Saudi Arabia indicated that a deal on the humanitarian file would be announced during the pause, according to reports from Al Mayadeen and Al-Akhbar.

Ansarallah representatives are demanding an end to Saudi intervention and compensation for the war as conditions for broader negotiations. Oman is currently acting as a primary mediator in the region and recently facilitated talks between U.S. officials and the Houthi delegation in Muscat, though no other news outlet has confirmed the latest ceasefire request.
