Yemen Sets Conditions for Saudi Arabia to End Siege
Yemen has set conditions for Saudi Arabia to end the siege on its territory, requiring practical measures from Riyadh to demonstrate goodwill. This stance comes after a delegation from Sanaa visited Riyadh with a plan to stop the war, but their requests were ignored until Yemen's retaliatory attacks on Aramco oil facilities.
According to experts, the intensification of Yemeni attacks deep into Saudi territory has changed the equations in favor of Sanaa and forced Saudi Arabia to consider options for ending the aggression against Yemen. However, Sanaa officials have emphasized that any progress in the peace process is dependent on the fulfillment of humanitarian demands and practical steps by Riyadh.
Sanaa's strategy, known as 'siege against siege' and 'escalation against escalation,' involves targeting Saudi military targets and vital installations with missile and drone attacks to force Riyadh to the negotiating table. This approach has been effective in changing the dynamics of the conflict and forcing Saudi Arabia to reconsider its stance.
