Saudi Yemen Strategy: Stick for South, Carrot for Europe
The article focuses on Saudi Arabia's strategy in Yemen, where it adopts a "carrot and stick" policy in dealing with Yemeni parties and the international community. Saudi Ambassador Mohammed Al Jaber plays a dual role: exerting pressure on the Yemeni opposition through harsh measures, while simultaneously supporting European efforts for reconstruction, aiming to improve Saudi Arabia's international image and shift from war to peacebuilding. On the ground, Saudi military operations continue, especially against the Southern Transitional Council, with indications of the complexities of local balances and Europe's role in arms trade. Meanwhile, Yemen is witnessing a significant escalation by the Houthis to exploit regional tensions, particularly with the potential for increased confrontations with Saudi Arabia.
