According to CCTV news, the Houthi delegation returned to Sana’a after the prisoner exchange agreement reached with the Yemeni government.

During talks held under the supervision of the United Nations in Jordan’s capital Amman, the two sides reached an agreement on the mutual exchange of approximately 1,750 detainees.

Under the agreement, detainees linked to the Yemeni government, as well as Houthis and military elements affiliated with them, along with members of the Saudi Arabia-led coalition, will reportedly be released.

Officials announced that the prisoner exchange is planned to take place on July 10.

Abdul Qader al-Murtada said in his statement regarding the process: “Some procedures need to be completed before the exchange. The status of detainees on both sides needs to be clarified and preparations must be made to receive those released.”

The agreement, regarded as the most comprehensive prisoner exchange between the parties since the conflict began in Yemen in 2014, was said to have been reached through United Nations mediation.
