Yemeni forces and coalition tighten grip on Houthis, says political scientist
Dr. Khaled Al-Habbas says Yemeni forces and the coalition are thwarting Houthi attempts to impose new realities on the ground.
Egypt's Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty reaffirmed his country's steadfast support for Saudi Arabia and urged a political resolution to the ongoing conflict. Speaking at a press conference, Abdelatty emphasized the need to explore all avenues for a political solution that ensures a complete withdrawal from recently occupied territories.
The Saudi Arabia-led coalition has been battling the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen for several months, with frequent attacks, including a recent strike on Riyadh's airport that was the kingdom's deadliest in years. Just prior to the truce collapse in July, the Houthis launched a major offensive and seized government-held territory along Yemen's Red Sea coast.
Following the truce's failure, the Houthis declared a maritime blockade of Saudi Arabia, targeting its ships, territory, and oil facilities. In response, the Saudi air force has conducted numerous attacks on Houthi-controlled areas, which span much of impoverished Yemen, where over 250,000 individuals have been internally displaced by the ongoing conflict.
