Wall Street Journal: Saudi Arabia contacted the Houthis to find out what the necessary conditions are for achieving a ceasefire. The group's response was to ask for $51 billion to compensate for years of Saudi attacks and a prolonged blockade. The message was clear: the price of withdrawal would reach tens of billions of dollars. The Houthis were not satisfied with this request and also want the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to officially recognize them as the rulers of Yemen.
