Yemen’s Houthi Ansarullah movement and their allies have agreed to join delayed UN-brokered peace talks in Kuwait, their representatives said on Wednesday.
Writing on Facebook, Mashat warned however that "we will have the right to suspend our participation" if the assurances are not met.
He said Houthi representatives would leave at "noon tomorrow" but it was unclear whether he was referring to Wednesday or Thursday.
A representative of the General People’s Congress party, Yasser Alawadi, said on Twitter that his delegation would travel to Kuwait on Thursday.
The talks, which were set to open in Kuwait on Monday, were delayed after the Ansarullah and its allies refused to show up over continued Saudi violations of the ceasefire.
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon on Tuesday urged the Gulf-backed regime and the revolutionaries to engage with his envoy "so that talks can start without further delay".
A Western diplomat in Kuwait has said that representatives of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council sent a message to the Ansarullah saying they "understand their fears" and urging them to "quickly join" the talks.
Previous attempts at peace talks - including a failed round in January - have been unable to stop Yemen’s conflict, which the United Nations says has killed more than 6,400 people and forced almost 2.8 million from their homes.
