Saudi Arabia has reportedly offered Yemen’s Houthi rebels a $1 billion financial package in an Iran-brokered deal aimed at securing a ceasefire and halting attacks on Saudi infrastructure, according to Israeli newspaper Israel Hayom. The proposal was discussed during Saudi Defence Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman’s reported visit to Tehran, where Iran offered to mediate. Participants included Pakistan Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir, Turkish intelligence chief Ibrahim Kalin and senior Iranian officials. Saudi Arabia reportedly promised funding for civilian infrastructure reconstruction and public-sector wages in Houthi-controlled areas, in exchange for an end to attacks. Riyadh said the visit supported de-escalation, dialogue and diplomatic mediation efforts. (PC: NDTV)
