Main Points
The United States Department of State has announced that it will temporarily reduce the number of staff at its embassies in several Middle Eastern countries. According to Al‑Monitor, which cited unnamed Department of State officials, the cuts have already taken place in Saudi Arabia and will now extend to the U.S. missions in Lebanon, Qatar, Jordan and the United Arab Emirates. The decision is said to be linked to the escalating situation in the region caused by the Yemeni insurgent group Ansar Allah (the Houthis). The U.S. government is reportedly reviewing its stance on whether it will support the Houthis’ positions in Saudi Arabian strikes. On October 10, former U.S. administration official Donald Trump stated that a decision would soon be made regarding the United States’ potential involvement in the Houthis’ positions in Saudi Arabia. The statement was made in the context of the broader U.S. policy toward the conflict in Yemen. Article source: News.am | Image credit: News.am
