This sudden switch from war to peace came in direct response to Trump's win over Kamala, with Trump being the candidate of peace and Kamala being the candidate of more of the same on the world stage.
A Houthi spokesman came out to announce a ceasefire almost immediately after Trump was declared the winner:
Sometimes you do not even need words to achieve your goals. Simply being present solves the problem.

"They don't want trouble from Trump," says American Thinker's Monica Showalter.
"Word of Trump's peace through strength has gotten around among our enemies, and Houthis want Trump's attention diverted elsewhere. It roughly parallels the release of the U.S. diplomatic personnel held hostage by Iran's crazies back in 1980. When Iran got word that Ronald Reagan had been elected, they dropped their hostage spectacular like a hot potato, after holding our men and women in captivity for 444 days."
(Related: In case you missed it from earlier this year, Yemen's Houthis attacked a bulk carrier in the Red Sea with a suicide drone boat, which marked the first time such a thing happened in the current conflict.)
U.S. Navy faced "most intense combat since World War II" under Biden
Up until this point, the U.S. military, and specifically the U.S. Navy, had been deployed from San Diego and other Naval bases across America to try to get rid of the Houthis, which have become a real problem under President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
"The Houthis are Iran's crummy little piratical pawn, taking cash and arms from the mullah regime and making Yemen a hellhole all by themselves," Showalter explains.
"But they've become a real problem since they've been firing on cargo ships and tankers around the Red Sea, disrupting ships, burning many, creating ecological dangers in the fragile Red Sea ecosystem and forcing many ships to go around the Horn of Africa to avoid them, creating supply chain backups and much higher fuel and labor costs."
The fighting got so bad that The Associated Press (AP) called the situation the "most intense combat since World War II" for the U.S. Navy. America's brave sailors have consistently been put in harm's way trying to keep the Houthis at bay, only to now realize that all it took was a changing of the guard in Washington.
Clearly, the Houthis had no respect for Biden or Kamala and how they handled things, but have plenty of fear about Trump and his agenda. Many are now celebrating what they see as the emergence of peace and safety – or as Trump is calling it, a new "golden age" that he is promising to deliver to America.
"That bodes well for peace in a lot of places. Hamas, Hezb'allah, and other Iranian pawns are bound to act similarly, nervous about what Trump might do," Showalter says.
"Only Vladimir Putin seems interested in challenging him, having held off on delivering congratulations to Trump as the world's leaders fall over themselves to send greetings and hold out olive branches after plotting to help Harris-Biden (See Keir Starmer of the U.K. and Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine)."
