The Houthis continue missile strikes on Israel despite US airstrikes, prompting Saudi Arabia to seek more arms to counter regional threats.
The UAE's assistant minister for political affairs Lana Nusseibeh described the reports as "wild unsubstantiated stories" in a statement to Reuters.
Despite US airstrikes, Houthis claim their military capabilities remain intact and persist in missile attacks on Israel. They reaffirm support for Palestine and are prepared to assist Hezbollah.
The war in Yemen began in 2014, when Houthi fighters swept into the capital, Sanaa, and took over government institutions.
The Iranian-backed Houthis claim they rejected a proposal from the US and UK, alleging it involved halting their attacks in exchange for recognition. Here's why they made this story up.
The Houthis ousted a Saudi-backed government from Sanaa in late 2014 and have been at war against a Saudi-led military alliance since 2015.
Although the warring sides agreed to a draft peace roadmap to end Yemen's civil war, Houthi attacks on ships in the Red Sea and US-UK airstrikes have analysts asking if the peace plan will go ahead.
UN special envoy will engage the parties to establish a roadmap that includes commitments for the implementation of a ceasefire.
The internationally recognized government (IRG) of Yemen, led by Rashid al-Alami, has not attacked Israel by word or deed.
With a UN-negotiated ceasefire in Yemen largely holding, and peace talks being held in Riyadh, now is the time to raise our voices on behalf of Levi Marhabi and to push for his release.
