Episode How will Saudi Arabia deal with the Houthis?

0:00 24:50

Fighting is intensifying between Yemen's Ansar Allah Houthis and Saudi Arabia. For the first time since a ceasefire in 2022, the Houthis have fired missiles towards the capital, Riyadh. The Iran-backed group says it will respond to any escalation with an escalation of its own. But it also risks dragging the wider region into conflict. What will it take to stop the attacks?

In this episode:

• Nawaf Obaid, Senior Research Fellow at King’s College London and former advisor to the Saudi government • Muhanad Seloom, Non-Resident Senior Fellow at the Middle East Council on Global Affairs • Ibrahim Jalal, Yemeni affairs analyst who specialises in regional security and armed groups
