This correspondence marks the most direct indication from the group regarding a potential cessation of activities during the truce period. International observations indicate a stabilization in regional maritime passages, although persistent underlying frictions continue.

The message stresses that any renewal of hostilities in Gaza would prompt a return to prior levels of engagement, highlighting the interconnected nature of these theaters. The Houthis have not issued a standalone declaration ending their campaign, preserving ambiguity in their operational posture.
