Amid the takeover of Seiyun, the largest city in Yemen’s Hadramout Valley, by the UAE-backed STC militia, Saudi Arabia has dispatched a high-level delegation led by Maj. Gen. Mohammed bin Ubayd al-Qahtani in an apparent bid to defuse tensions in the oil-rich province.

Despite Israeli media alarms over Saudi Arabia potentially acquiring U.S. F-35 fighter jets during Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s visit to Washington, reports indicate that the Abraham Accord matters far more to “Israel” than the aircraft themselves.

As the US moves to finalize two key elements of Trump’s second-phase plan for Gaza, the shape of “the day after” in Gaza is coming into focus, and it may not be what the Israeli Occupation hoped for.

As pressure mounts on Hezbollah from both inside Lebanon and abroad, the group’s deputy leader Sheikh Naim Qassem made a striking overture to Riyadh, urging Saudi Arabia to turn the page and rally around a common enemy: the Israeli Occupation.

Amid rising tensions in the Middle East, punctuated by “Israel’s” September 9, 2025 aggression on Qatar, Iran turned toward Saudi Arabia in search of defense cooperation, raising fundamental questions about whether the two sides could move closer.
