Solid write up of continuing escalation in South Yemen by @salehalbatati.bsky.social, featuring some thoughts from my end. www.wsj.com/world/middle...

#BREAKING: The #Bahrain Defense Force announces the death of an officer and a soldier, with several wounded, on the southern border of #SaudiArabia as part of the forces participating in the Saudi-led Coalition fighting #Iran-backed #Houthis. #Yemen

Saudi Arabia appears to be adopting a fresh approach to #Yemen, emphasizing Yemen’s unity as crucial. It's an area where both #Saudi and #Iran find common ground. But, will this strategy help mend the fractures or add to the challenges in Yemen's troubled state?

Key takeaways 1. Saudi's primary partners in Yemen & the region are unaware of the talks between Saudis and Houthis. 2. Despite welcoming statements from the PLC & the UAE regarding the Riyadh talks, they privately express feelings of marginalization &disappointment with Riyadh.
