Saudi Arabia Seeks UAE Support as It Prepares for Military Action Against Houthis in Yemen

Saudi Arabia, a key player in the Yemen conflict, has turned to the UAE for strategic and logistical support. The UAE, a regional ally, has been providing military and financial assistance to Saudi Arabia in its campaign against the Houthis. The Houthis, a Shia militant group based in Yemen, have been launching ballistic missile and drone attacks on Saudi cities, including the capital, Riyadh, in recent months. The conflict, which began in 2015, has resulted in thousands of civilian casualties and significant humanitarian crises.
