Saudi Arabia has proposed a new peace plan to end nearly six years of war in Yemen.

It suggests a UN-supervised ceasefire between Yemen’s Saudi-backed government and Houthi rebels, who are supported by Iran.

The plan also includes the reopening of vital air and sea links, and the start of political negotiations.

Houthi rebels have said the offer did not appear to go far enough to lift the air and sea blockade in place.

The proposal was announced in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, by Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan, who called on the Houthis, who control large swathes of Yemen, to accept it.
