Political and security discussions in Yemen have centered on regional stability and the potential for a federal state structure. In Al-Jawf, officials have emphasized that defeating Houthi militias is necessary for national security and the protection of international shipping lanes. Meanwhile, leaders in Hadramaut are advocating for a decentralized federal model, with the Supreme Coordination Conference of Hadramaut demanding a 20% share of local natural resource wealth and insisting that oil exports remain suspended until these rights are guaranteed.

On the diplomatic front, the Arab League has unanimously approved the establishment of an Arab fund intended to finance Yemen’s development needs and urgent infrastructure projects. Yemeni Foreign Minister Dr. Afrah Al-Zoubi noted that national stability is closely linked to sustainable recovery and reconstruction efforts.
