Saudi Arabia and the UAE, once united in their efforts to counter the Houthis in Yemen, are now embroiled in a public dispute, escalating tensions and fracturing alliances. The conflict stems from diverging agendas regarding Yemen’s future and the balance of influence, with Saudi Arabia supporting a unified government and the UAE backing southern separatists. Recent events, including attacks on a UAE shipment and a retaliatory Saudi naval deployment, have dramatically heightened the situation, revealing deep-seated disagreements and potentially destabilizing the already complex civil war. The Houthis, benefiting from the divisions, are poised to exploit the situation, while the international community’s response remains uncertain.
