Underlying tensions still restrict full GCC reconciliation

Description

“Saudi Arabia has engaged with the Houthis and have shown more openness to engaging with Iran to de-conflict," said Andreas Krieg, a scholar at King’s College’s school of security studies. He told Al-Monitor that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman "has seen an opportunity here to appeal to Washington as no longer the guy who ordered the killing of [journalist Jamal] Khashoggi, started the war in Yemen and imposed a blockade on neighbor Qatar, but potentially as the guy who can bring stability to a region.”
