Saudi Bombs Yemen as 'Peace Talks' Continue Unabated
The New Arab reports Saudi strikes have hit Yemen, conveniently coinciding with a 'peace summit' in Riyadh that a key southern leader, Aidarous al-Zubaidi, skipped. This isn't peace; it's a 'negotiating' tactic straight out of the Middle East's perennial conflict playbook: bomb them into submission, then invite them to your palace for 'unity' talks. The US, which has historically supplied Saudi
Arabia with billions in weaponry, including during the Biden administration, remains conspicuously silent on the 'strikes' part of the equation while praising 'diplomatic efforts.' One might wonder, how many 'last warnings' against Saudi aggression have been issued by the international community before they simply rebranded their bombing campaign as 'peacemaking'? It appears the definition of
'negotiation' has expanded to include concurrent aerial bombardments. Perhaps the 'peace' on offer is simply the peace of the grave, achieved with American-made ordinances.
