Yemeni analysts have expressed optimism about the announcement of the GCC general secretariat to host intra-Yemeni talks in Riyadh, hoping that the consultations would pave the way for ending the conflict.
Despite the Houthis’ public threat to boycott the talks, observers noted that the meeting could constitute an important opportunity to move towards peace, and would give the international community a clear indication of the Gulf desire to resolve the Yemeni crisis and try to convince the Houthis to distance themselves from the Iranian agenda.
