<p>The Omani Foreign Ministry announced on Tuesday that it had
successfully brokered a ceasefire agreement between the United States
and the authorities in Sanaa, aimed at achieving mutual de-escalation.</p>
<p>According to a statement from Muscat, the agreement entails a
commitment by both sides, Washington and the Sanaa-based government, not
to target each other in future military operations.</p>
<p>"The Sultanate thanks both parties for their constructive approach
that led to this welcome outcome," the statement read, emphasizing
Oman\u2019s longstanding diplomatic efforts in mediating regional conflicts.</p>
<p>US President Donald Trump had earlier <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/trump-halts-us-airstrikes-on-yemen-after-sanaa-assurances" target="_blank" rel="noopener">declared an immediate halt</a> to US airstrikes on Yemen, claiming that Yemeni authorities had promised to cease attacks on vessels in the Red Sea.</p>
<h2>'Trump surprised us'</h2>
<p>The declaration appears to have caught the Israeli occupation off guard, with <em>Axios </em>journalist Barak Ravid quoting a senior Israeli official saying, "We didn't know about this. Trump surprised us."</p>
<p>Despite Trump\u2019s claims of a breakthrough, Ansar Allah denied that any such concession had been made. In an interview with <em>Bloomberg</em>,
Mohammed al-Bukhaiti, a member of the group\u2019s Political Council,
affirmed that military operations in the Red Sea and against "Israel"
would continue until the aggression on Gaza ends and the siege on its
people is lifted.</p>
<h2>Support for Gaza will not cease</h2>
<p>While al-Bukhaiti indicated that attacks on US warships may pause if
American strikes cease, he stressed that "we will definitely continue
our <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/yemeni-missile-hits-ben-gurion-airport-as-interceptors-fail?utm_source=mango-searchx&utm_medium=title_and_relatives&utm_campaign=Ben%20Gurion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">operations in support of Gaza</a>," underscoring that the movement\u2019s military actions are directly tied to the Israeli regime\u2019s ongoing war on the Gaza Strip.</p>
<p>Ansar Allah "will not stop regardless of the consequences until the
end of the aggression on Gaza and blockade on its people," al-Bukhaiti
stressed.</p>
<h2>US to halt airstrikes on Yemen</h2>
<p>Trump announced on Tuesday that Washington will halt its airstrikes on<span> </span><a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/yemen-declare-air-blockade-again--israel----gaza-genocide-mu" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Yemen</a>,
claiming that his administration received a "promise" from Yemeni
representatives to stop attacks on vessels in the Red Sea. Trump
described the move as "good news" and a step toward de-escalation in the
region.</p>
<p>Speaking during a press conference at the White House alongside
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, Trump said his administration
trusts the Yemeni assurances despite the absence of a <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/sanaa-vows-retaliation-after-israeli-strikes-on-civilian-sit" target="_blank" rel="noopener">formal agreement</a>.
"The Yemenis don\u2019t want to fight, and we\u2019ll stop bombing them. We
believe their word that they won\u2019t target ships anymore," he said.</p>
<p>He emphasized that the decision was made in light of what he
described as a "genuine desire for calm" and reiterated that there is
"no reason to continue the air raids as long as Yemen holds to its
commitment to end naval operations."</p>
<h2>'Israel' conducts airstrikes on Yemen</h2>
<p>Trump\u2019s remarks came just hours after Israeli warplanes carried out<span> </span><a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/-israel--bombs-yemen-s-sanaa-airport--other-civilian-infrast" target="_blank" rel="noopener">airstrikes on the Yemeni capital</a>, Sanaa, resulting in several casualties and injuries.</p>
<p>According to <em>The Jerusalem Post</em>, the Israeli occupation was not informed in advance about the US decision to halt its aggression on Yemen. </p>
<p><strong>Al Mayadeen</strong>'s correspondent confirmed that Sanaa International Airport was targeted by a series of Israeli airstrikes.</p>
<p>Footage shared on social media platforms showed scenes of Israeli airstrikes reportedly targeting Sanaa International Airport.</p></div></div></div>
