UAE agrees with Saudi Arabia to re-enter Yemen conflict
The UAE has reportedly agreed to resume payments to some Yemeni government forces fighting the Houthis in the south, according to sources in Yemen. The UAE vice president met the Saudi defence minister in Abu Dhabi to discuss regional developments.
Why it matters
Renewed Emirati involvement could widen and prolong the Yemen war.
Background
The UAE was a key member of the Saudi-led coalition but scaled back its direct role in Yemen around 2019. It has backed southern Yemeni forces whose relations with Riyadh have at times been strained.
