“Even if the U.N.-led process does move forward, it would likely lead to essentially an agreement between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis that doesn't solve the underlying conflict between the Houthis and the anti-Houthi forces.”

“They [Arab allies - Jordan, Qatar, United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia] wanted integration with Israel - also a long-term Israeli aim - but only if that included a practical pathway to a Palestinian state. I think there are actually real opportunities. But we have to ... ensure that October 7 can never happen again and work to build a much different and much better future.”

“Saudi Arabia will likely still be cautious in economic dealings with Iran because it does not want to be exposed to US sanctions. And normalisation does not necessarily mean that the two sides trust each other. Regardless, reducing tensions in Yemen, Lebanon, Syria and Iraq can still entail wide-ranging interests for both sides. The high level of distrust and the intensity of geopolitical rivalries may render the trend of reducing tensions reversible. To achieve success, both countries need to begin continuous and long-term efforts and try reliable ways that would guarantee mutual interests.”

“When you look at Russia, it has the first, second and third highest reserves globally of practically everything. From energy to diamonds, to fresh water, to rare earths and other minerals, it's an extremely rich country. And despite its current estrangement from the West, the Kremlin was far from being geopolitically isolated. Russia has some powerful friends, such as China, India, and Iran, and some increasingly powerful acquaintances, such as Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Brazil, and much of Africa. On balance, therefore, I suspect that Russia will prevail.”

“I think it's just strategic exhaustion, the Houthis for a long time have felt that their success was inevitable, but they had a huge setback in Marib [city], which has been besieged for over a year… At the same time, you see an expansion into Saudi Arabia and Abu Dhabi…I think both sides realised, this war is not going the way we want to, maybe we're going to have to settle for half a loaf.”

“The situation is becoming more dangerous because the nature of weapons being used in the attacks is becoming more deadly. The Houthis are trying to bring pressure to the Saudi-UAE coalition to bring things to a favorable close. The only way this [conflict] is going to be resolved is if the Saudi, the Emirates and Houthis sit directly to together and work things out. There isn't any alternative because neither side has been able to gain an advantage over the other.”

“Russia's overall policy in the Middle East is to be friends with all, allies of none, enemies of none, so selling arms to Iran might disrupt its efforts to balance closer ties with Israel and the UAE, in particular, as tensions are heightened between these countries and Tehran right now and Saudi Arabia.”

“The current ban from Saudi Arabia has now directly hit around $250m worth of exports. That's huge for Lebanon. That's a lot for Lebanon. Look, to be very clear, on an industrial level this is a huge thing. We were starting to take advantage of the Saudi ban on Turkish products - they are very big competitors. Our target for 2022 was to move to $500m in exports to Saudi Arabia.”

“Even the Lebanese government has tried to distance itself from the statements, saying it did not reflect Lebanese government's policy.
