The Houthis (Houthis) have demanded $51 billion from Saudi Arabia in exchange for a negotiated end to hostilities, along with Saudi Arabia formally recognizing the group as Yemen's legitimate rulers, according to the WSJ, citing people familiar with the discussions. The Houthis initially justified the demand as compensation for years of Saudi airstrikes and siege measures. Although other figures have since been discussed, the proposed settlement would still cost tens of billions of dollars.
