Mohammed al-Bukhaiti, a prominent member of Yemen's Houthi movement, disclosed on Monday that the United States has made offers to the group in a bid to secure recognition of their Sanaa government. The remarks were broadcasted on Qatar's Al Jazeera TV.

The US overtures to the Houthis come at a critical juncture, following a notable escalation in regional tensions. Just a day prior, a Houthi ballistic missile struck central Israel, an unprecedented development in the ongoing conflict.

The move to engage diplomatically with the Houthis appears to be part of a broader strategy to curtail Yemeni attacks and stabilize the region, but its long-term efficacy and implications remain uncertain.
