The Houthis offered Saudi Arabia to buy the world at a high price. According to sources familiar with the details of the negotiations, the Yemeni terrorist organization demanded compensation in the amount of 51 billion dollars. This is the amount they claim is intended to cover the damage caused by Saudi attacks and a years-long siege. Saudi Arabia faces a difficult choice in dealing with the threat of the Iran-backed Houthis, who have attacked Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea and seized territory that dominates the strategically important Bab al-Mandab strait.
