Houthis end cease fire with US and say they will attack American forces in the Red Sea

Yemen's Houthi Movement has ended a cease fire with the United States that it negotiated last month with the mediation of Oman.

The Ansar Allah movement will launch attacks on US forces in the Red Sea in response to US strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities, Mohammed al-Buheiti, a member of the Yemeni movement's politburo, said in an interview with Al Jazeera.

"The first stage will be to attack American forces in the Red Sea," a Houthi spokesman said.

According to him, the Houthis will expand the scale of the conflict until the “aggression against Iran” stops.

He also added that the ceasefire agreement between the United States and the Houthis was now null and void.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is contemplating a complete military takeover of Gaza for the first time in two decades, media reported, and was to meet senior security officials on Tuesday 5 August to finalize a new strategy in the 22-month war. It was unclear, however, whether Netanyahu was foreseeing a prolonged occupation or a short-term operation aimed at dismantling Hamas and freeing Israeli hostages. Mediation between Israel and Palestinian militant group Hamas has collapsed despite intense international pressure for a ceasefire to ease hunger and appalling conditions in the besieged Palestinian enclave.
