On its face, this sounds like a positive development, but Blinken recently said the US will "continue to help defend the Saudis against Houthi attacks".

Ending arm sales to the coalition
Ending military support, targets assistance & weapons repairs
Ending support for the blockade
Restoring aid into #Yemen
