Riyadh, Saudi Arabia: Saudi Arabia has reportedly offered $1 billion to have peace with Houthis and stop attacking the kingdom. The Saudi’s financial offer in exchange for peace was communicated through Iran, Israel newspaper Hayom reported, citing Gulf sources.
The offer is aimed at addressing issues such as unpaid public-sector salaries and the reconstruction of civilian infrastructure in areas controlled by the Houthis.
The proposal manates Houthis to stop attacking Saudi infrastructures such as oil facilities, military installations and international airports, which have already claimed huge toll.
Saudi Defence Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman travelled to Tehran on Monday for talks with Iranian officials as part of wider diplomatic efforts to contain the conflict, the report said.
