Riyadh is weighing its options against a backdrop of rising geopolitical tensions between the US, China and Russia.
As Saudi Arabia draws closer to a peace deal with Yemen’s Houthi fighters, ‘escalatory actions’ could trigger another conflict in the Middle East that does not serve Saudi or US interests, analysts say.
An extraordinary online BRICS summit on the escalation of the situation in the Middle East took place on Tuesday, with Russian President Vladimir Putin criticizing the US for monopolizing mediation efforts.
Analysts ruled out that the Houthi group’s involvement in the current war in Gaza would affect the ongoing peace efforts in Yemen. Speaking to Asharq Al-Awsat, analysts said the Houthis, by announcing the targeting of Israel, sought to express popular support for the Palestinians, suggesting that Israel would respond by attacking Houthi military targets, while ruling out any US intervention, at least at the current stage.
