Also under talk from Monday will be arguments between Yemen's Houthi insurgents, who hold Hodeida, and Retired Dutch Maj. Gen. Patrick Cammaert, who is heading a U.N. mission charged with observing the cease-fire.
The struggle in Yemen began with the 2014 take control of Sanaa by the Iran-aligned insurgents. A Saudi-led coalition allied with the internationally recognized government has been combat the Houthis since 2015.
