UAE and Saudi Arabia Join Forces Again in Yemen as Houthi Gains Alarm Gulf Rulers

Here is what the page “UAE and Saudi Arabia Join Forces Again in Yemen as Houthi Gains Alarm Gulf Rulers” contains. The United Arab Emirates has agreed to resume payments to Yemeni government forces fighting the Iran-backed Houthis in the south, according to sources in Yemen. In exchange, Saudi Arabia will provide air cover for those anti-Houthi troops. This new cooperation marks the first concrete sign that the rift between the UAE and Saudi Arabia over Yemen's future is beginning to heal, driven by shared alarm over recent Houthi advances across the country.

The Houthis, who control the capital Sanaa and much of the north, have been gaining ground, threatening the interests of both Gulf states. The UAE had largely withdrawn from the conflict in 2019, but the resurgence of Houthi attacks, including drone and missile strikes on Saudi Arabia and the UAE, has forced a strategic rethink. This listing links straight to the original page, where the content is available in full.
