(3). The Saudi-led coalition backing the Yemeni government allowed the Houthi rebels to evacuate wounded members to Oman. The Houthis and the government also agreed to exchange hundreds of prisoners. Those moves paved the way for peace talks in Geneva.

沙特领导的支持也门政府的联盟允许胡塞叛军将受伤成员撤离到阿曼接受治疗。胡塞叛军还同意和政府交换数百名囚犯。这些行动为日内瓦的和谈铺平了道路。

(4). After a briefing by the head of the CIA, senators in America said they were certain that Muhammad bin Salman, the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, ordered the killing of Jamal Khashoggi, a Saudi journalist, in a consulate in Istanbul in October. A Turkish court approved arrest warrants for two former aides to the prince over the killing.
