The two officials described Houthis, according to Reuters, as “guests” who will hosted by the Secretary-General of the Gulf Cooperation Council, “Nayef Falah Mubarak Al-Hajraf”, at the council’s headquarters in Riyadh and “with his security guarantees.”

The authorities in Sana’a have commented on this development, which comes a few days after Sana’a forces carried out a qualitative military strike targeting sensitive oil sites inside the kingdom.
