Houthis Invincible? Yemen Needs Two-State Solution, Says Southern Leader

At the ongoing UN General Assembly in New York, the decades-old two-state solution debate to resolve the Israel-Palestine conflict has inspired calls for a similar approach in Yemen. Aidarous al-Zubaidi, President of Yemen’s Southern Transitional Council (STC), stated that the country is already divided militarily and economically, and that a two-state solution is the best path to peace. Yemen was split into two nations until 1990 and has been mired in civil war since Iran-backed Houthi rebels seized Sanaa in 2014. Despite a 2022 ceasefire, conflict persists, with Houthi drone and missile attacks escalating in the Red Sea and in Israeli cities and ports. These attacks have also crippled southern Yemen’s oil exports, deepening economic reliance on Saudi Arabia. While Riyadh and the UN push for unity, a Houthi defeat appears unlikely, and negotiations remain stalled. As prospects for peace fade, Yemen’s return to a two-state reality is gaining traction as a potential solution.
