Arab and Muslim States Rally Behind Saudi Call for Dialogue on Yemen
Regional governments voice support for Riyadh’s initiative as a constructive step toward de-escalation and political settlement
Arab and Muslim countries have expressed broad support for Saudi Arabia’s invitation to Yemeni parties to engage in dialogue, framing the initiative as a timely and constructive effort to reduce tensions and advance a political solution to the long-running conflict.
Regional governments and organisations said the Saudi proposal reflects a responsible approach aimed at stabilising Yemen and addressing the humanitarian and security challenges that continue to affect the country.
Diplomatic statements from across the Middle East and the wider Muslim world welcomed Riyadh’s call for talks, emphasising the importance of dialogue, restraint and cooperation among Yemeni factions.
Several governments said the initiative could help prevent further internal fragmentation, encourage confidence-building measures and support broader efforts to sustain de-escalation on multiple fronts of the conflict.
Saudi Arabia has positioned the invitation as part of its ongoing engagement to promote peace in Yemen, building on recent diplomatic activity intended to reduce violence and create space for political processes.
Officials have underscored that inclusive dialogue remains essential to achieving lasting stability and enabling Yemenis to determine their future through peaceful means.
Supporters of the initiative highlighted Saudi Arabia’s central role in facilitating regional diplomacy and its capacity to bring together diverse Yemeni actors under a framework that prioritises national unity and security.
They also stressed that regional backing could help ensure that talks are taken seriously and conducted under conditions conducive to meaningful progress.
The expressions of support come amid a complex regional environment in which Yemen’s internal dynamics intersect with broader geopolitical considerations.
Backers of the Saudi invitation said sustained international and regional engagement would be crucial to translating dialogue into tangible outcomes, including improved security conditions and steps toward a comprehensive political settlement.
