Saudi Arabia proposed a five-day humanitarian truce in Yemen on Thursday after weeks of airstrikes and fighting, but said a ceasefire depended on the Houthi militia and its allies also agreeing to lay down arms, Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir said.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, addressing a news conference alongside Jubeir, welcomed the proposal and added that neither Saudi Arabia nor the United States was talking about sending ground troops intoYemen.
