On May 7, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Oman said on the 6th that it has discussed and reached an agreement with the relevant authorities of the United States and Yemen. According to the agreement, the two sides shall not attack each other's ships in the Red Sea and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, so as to maintain freedom of navigation and ensure the unhindered flow of international merchant ships. Oman appreciated the constructive attitude of the two sides and the positive results achieved, hoping that this progress can pave the way for further settlement of regional issues and advance the common goal of regional peace and prosperity. Earlier, Trump said, "The Houthis are not willing to go to war. They will take their word for their guarantee that they will not blow up the ships. We will immediately stop the air strikes against the Houthis." Houthi officials in Yemen responded by saying that Trump's statement shows the opposite of the US support for Israel and Netanyahu's "failure". According to the Houthi-controlled Al Masila TV station, senior Houthi officials said they would continue to support Gaza and the attack would continue.
