Brief retelling from RIA II

Saudi Arabia and Syria are discussing sending Syrian troops to Yemen to fight the Houthis.

Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa is “seriously considering” this proposal, but has not yet made a decision.

NEW YORK, October 7 - RIA Novosti. Saudi Arabia and Syria are discussing sending Syrian troops to Yemen to fight the Houthis, Axios claims, citing unnamed American officials.

“Saudi Arabia and Syria are discussing sending Syrian troops to Yemen to join the counter-offensive against the Houthi rebels,” the media indicates.

According to the publication, Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa is “seriously considering” this proposal, but has not yet made a decision. Axios also notes that the administration of US President Donald Trump is not opposed to such a step.

According to one media source, Syria may send from ten thousand to 20 thousand troops to Yemen.

However, according to the media, sending Syrian troops to the region could allegedly introduce a religious aspect to the confrontation and aggravate the conflict.

The military confrontation between Yemen's Ansar Allah movement (Houthis) and the pro-government army, which is supported by Saudi Arabia, resumed in mid-July after a four-year lull.
