Despite the warning of international isolation that the Houthis would face if they continued to obstruct peace efforts, this militia went towards escalation in the economic file, and rejected proposals related to paying employees' salaries in the areas under its control that were cut off eight years ago, and adhered to the demand to obtain part of the oil and gas revenues.

While the Yemenis were looking forward to the United Nations announcing the road map for peace, the so-called "Houthis Economic Committee" appeared to blow up all those aspirations by going back to talking about the need for this militia to obtain part of the oil export revenues or to continue targeting export ports and closing routes for transporting goods from government-controlled areas. to areas under its control, and thwarting international and regional efforts to achieve peace.
