A handout picture released by the Huthi-affiliated branch of the Yemeni News Agency SABA on April 9, 2023, shows the Huthi group's political leader Mahdi al-Mashat (L) welcoming the Saudi ambassador to Yemen Mohammed Al Jaber and a delegation in Sanaa. - The Saudi delegation was in Yemen's capital to negotiate a potential new truce with the Huthi rebels who control the city, diplomats said, as Riyadh sought a way out of the war, roughly a month after China helped broker a surprise rapprochement between Riyadh and Tehran, fuelling hopes for progress on ending the Yemen conflict that has claimed hundreds of thousands of lives.
