Saudi-Yemen conflict and regional tensions
Overview
The relationship between Saudi Arabia and Yemen is characterized by long-standing historical tensions. Historical grievances include the annexation of Yemeni territories such as Najran, Asir, and Jizan, as well as Saudi involvement in the Yemeni civil war during the 1960s and efforts to undermine Yemeni unity in the mid-1990s.
After twelve years of conflict, the confrontation has entered a new strategic phase. The traditional military advantages of the Saudi-led coalition have faced limitations due to Yemeni resilience, specifically through the development of Yemeni missile and drone capabilities which have created a “new deterrent effect.”
The ongoing conflict has caused significant infrastructure damage and a severe humanitarian crisis. This has led to calls for a transition from military solutions toward political processes that respect Yemeni sovereignty, with arguments suggesting that regional powers should redirect resources toward other regional issues rather than continuing cycles of attrition.
