Saudi Defense Minister Meets UAE President to Coordinate Houthi Response

These diplomatic efforts follow reports that the UAE may rejoin the Saudi-led military campaign against the Houthis in Yemen, though no formal agreement has been confirmed. The meetings also signal a continued effort to resolve a rift that emerged between Riyadh and Abu Dhabi last year, following a visit by Sheikh Mansour to Saudi Arabia several weeks ago, which was the first by a senior Emirati official since the dispute began.
