تاريخ النشر: 4th, September 2023 GMT
The government said in its meeting, Monday, in the capital, Aden, headed by Dr. Maeen Abdulmalik, that the continued military escalation of the terrorist Houthi militia, the latest of which was the targeting of the camps for the displaced in Marib governorate in conjunction with the visit of the UN envoy, and its repeated threats to neighboring countries, reflects its understanding of the message of peace sent by the international community.
The government called on the United Nations, the Security Council and the international community to double the pressure, including the option of sanctions, to push the Houthi militias towards serious engagement with the good offices to establish peace and stability and end the human suffering of the Yemeni people.
The government and the Presidential Leadership Council reaffirmed their unwavering commitment to the peace process and their desire for a lasting and comprehensive peace based on the three references agreed upon locally and supported regionally and internationally, and its positive engagement with all initiatives that are met with rejection, intransigence and escalation by the terrorist Houthi militias, appreciating the continuous and sincere Saudi and Omani efforts as mediators. In order to end the war and establish peace, and support and welcome the government and its blessing for all international, regional and international efforts aimed at reaching a comprehensive political solution.
The Houthi militia warned against persisting in its military aggressions and gross violations of human rights, praising the role of the armed forces and the popular resistance, and their high readiness to deter any escalation or adventures to undermine the opportunities for peace that the government and the Presidential Leadership Council deal with positively as part of their relentless efforts to alleviate the human suffering created by these militias forces.

Three important meetings in Riyadh within a week
reports that Riyadh hosted three pivotal political gatherings this week:
Saudi Consultations: The first session brought together the Saudi ambassador, the Consultation and Reconciliation Commission, and key Yemeni party leaders.
Presidential Council Briefing: In the second, Dr. Rashad Al-Alimi, head of Yemen’s Presidential Leadership Council, met with the same delegation.
National Alliance Talks: The final meeting paired Al-Alimi with representatives from the National Alliance bloc.
Key insights from Shalfi's Yemeni sources:
1 Growing popular demand urges a decisive end to Houthi rule—spurred by recent events in Lebanon and Syria—yet neither Yemeni leaders nor their external backers have committed to a clear course of action.
2 Riyadh signaled it won’t back or join a ground offensive under current regional and global conditions, while also warning Yemeni factions to overcome their internal splits and restore unified military and political coordination.
3 Al-Alimi attended alone, underscoring deep fractures within the Presidential Council that hinder regular meetings and collective decision-making.
4 Rumors of impending action on Yemen’s western coast and around Hudaydah were addressed, with Al-Alimi insisting any deployment must be a joint effort, not a single-front initiative.
5 Several attendees noted Donald Trump's planned May 13 regional trip—which could tip the balance toward either escalation or de-escalation in Yemen.
6 Discussions revealed significant cracks in Yemen’s military and political coalitions, a major barrier to launching any broad, unified assault on the Houthis.
7 Despite official denials, reports of a UAE-backed ground push via
prompted Saudi worries about Abu Dhabi carving out its own territorial influence along the western coast.
8 Saudi Arabia remains unwilling to entertain offensive plans until its territory is fully shielded from Houthi missiles and drones—a stance rooted in past experiences and stringent security calculations.
9 Proposed government changes, including replacing the prime minister, were also on the agenda—but no action was taken amid the prevailing political, military, and regional uncertainties.
