A newly announced ceasefire between the US and Yemen, mediated by Oman, will not extend to the cessation of attacks on "Israel", according to Ansar Allah.

The announcement follows months of escalating tension in the Red Sea region and the intensification of US military operations under Operation Rough Rider.

On Tuesday, President Donald Trump announced that the United States would immediately stop bombing Ansar Allah positions in Yemen, claiming the group had agreed to halt attacks on US naval assets, and Oman confirmed it had brokered the deal.

However, Ansar Allah made clear the agreement was limited in scope, stressing that “The agreement does not include 'Israel' in any way, shape or form,” said Mohammed Abdulsalam, the group’s chief negotiator, in comments to Reuters.

“As long as they announced the cessation (of US strikes) and they are committed to that, our position was self-defense, so we will stop,” he added.

Trump announces halting US airstrikes on Yemen

Trump announced on Tuesday that Washington will halt its airstrikes on Yemen, 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.

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 formal agreement.

"The Yemenis don’t want to fight, and we’ll stop bombing them. We believe their word that they won’t target ships anymore," he said.

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."

Trump’s remarks came just hours after Israeli warplanes carried out airstrikes on the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, resulting in several casualties and injuries.

According to The Jerusalem Post, the Israeli occupation was not informed in advance about the US decision to halt its aggression on Yemen.
