nullagentFrom my understanding of this settlement I think the Houthis had already effectively offered this deal to Biden and Trump.Trump took office during a ceasefire in Gaza, during which time Yemen promised no new aggression in the Red Sea towards commercial ships.Trump arbitrarily upped the tension with the signal gate bombings, meanwhile Israel broke the Gaza deal.So this just rewinds the clock. Yemen says they will keep bombing Israel directly over the Gaza genocide 🇾🇪🇵🇸✊🏿🖤🔻<a href="https://partyon.xyz/tags/signalgate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#signalgate</a> <a href="https://partyon.xyz/tags/yemen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#yemen</a>
