US President Joe Biden has announced a halt to US cooperation for Saudi Arabia in the Yemen war.
So far more than one lakh people have been killed in this disastrous war that has been going on for six years. This war has brought tens of millions of people to the brink of starvation.
In his first important speech related to the country's foreign policy, President Biden said, "The war in Yemen must end."
In 2014, a conflict began between the weak Yemeni government and the Houthi rebels. A year later, the conflict took serious shape when Saudi Arabia and eight more Arab countries, with the support of the United States, Britain, and France, began airstrikes on the Houthi rebels here. So far, the Saudi-led coalition here was carrying out attacks against the Houthi rebels.
After taking power from Biden, many important decisions have been taken and some of the decisions of his predecessor have been reversed. He has decided to increase the number of refugees coming to America and has withdrawn the decision to evacuate American troops from Germany. These soldiers have been in Germany since the end of World War II.
Not only this, but the Biden-led US government is also reviewing military agreements worth billions of dollars with Arab countries during the tenure of former President Trump.
The US has also decided to temporarily suspend deals for arms sales to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. This will also affect the F-35 fighter aircraft deal.
The US, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates are also stopping the sale of target-set missiles. This will affect the war in Yemen, but will not affect the fight against al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.
At the same time, after President Biden stopped his support for Saudi Arabia's military campaign, Saudi Arabia has said that it is committed to a 'political solution' in Yemen.
According to Saudi Arabian government media, the Saudi government stated, "Saudi Arabia reiterates its strong will to support a comprehensive political solution to the Yemen crisis and to support diplomatic efforts to resolve the US Yemen crisis." Welcomes the emphasis. "
Saudi Arabia has also welcomed Biden's commitment to protect Saudi Arabia's sovereignty and cooperate in dealing with threats against it.
Saudi Arabia's deputy defense minister, Pris Khalid bin Salman, wrote on Twitter, "We recognize President Biden's commitment to working with friends and allies to find a solution to the crisis, to deal with the attacks of Iran and its pseudo-allies in the region Welcome. We look forward to working together with our friends in America to work on all issues for the past seven decades. "
In his statement, Prince Khalid bin Salman said, "We are keen to work with the US to find a solution to the Yemen crisis and improve the human condition there."
Message to Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates
President Biden appointed senior diplomat Timothy Landerking as US special envoy to Yemen. He has been given the responsibility to work closely with the United Nations and find a solution to the Yemen crisis.
The Houthi rebels control most of the parts of Yemen, including the capital Sanaa. Timothy has been given the responsibility to resume talks between the rebels and the internationally recognized government.
According to BBC correspondent Lees Dusset, President Biden's declaration confirms his commitment to ending the Yemen war.
This bloody chapter will not end immediately by stopping US cooperation for the Saudi Arabia-led coalition in the Yemen war. But it is a strong signal for the leaders of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates from the American President.
The leadership of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are also looking for ways to get out of the Yemen war.
However, establishing peace in Yemen can be a major challenge for President Biden.
Biden has assigned this task to Timothy Landerking, who has been working on this issue for many years and knows all those involved with it.
Saudi Arabia had strong relations with former US President Donald Trump. He not only continued Saudi Arabia's cooperation in the Yemen war but also described defense agreements with Saudi Arabia as important for the US defense industry.
The changes in the relations between Saudi Arabia and the United States have started to appear after President Trump was elected to power. After Biden's recent announcement, it has also become clear that the relationship between the US and Saudi Arabia will now be redefined.
There will be a change in US policy regarding Saudi Arabia after Biden becomes president, but analysts feel that it will not have much impact on Saudi.
"The Biden policy on Yemen will allow Saudi Arabia to get out of this war," says PR Kumaraswamy, a professor of Middle East affairs and professor at JNU.
On the other hand, Omer Anas, assistant professor and international affairs expert at the Ildrim University in Ankara, says, "The relationship between the US and Saudi Arabia has always been strong. The two share close ties in the energy and security sector. If the US is not a friend of Saudi Arabia If created, questions will arise on the security of the Persian Gulf. In such a situation, the arrival of Biden will not affect the relationship between Saudi Arabia and America. "
Will Khushiji become a problem for Saudi Arabia?
The case of the death of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in the Biden administration may trouble Saudi Arabia. Khashoggi, a critic of Saudi rule, was assassinated in Saudi Arabia's consulate in Turkey.
Omer Anas says that the issue of Khashoggi's death may arise again in the Biden administration.
Says Omer, "The Biden administration will surely surround Saudi Arabia on the issue of the assassination of Jamal Khashoggi. Many legal procedures can begin in the US and include the name of the Crown Prince. If the name of Crown Prince comes up There may be problems for the Saudis. How this issue and the legal aspects related to it will be resolved can be a big issue for the Saudis. "
Saudi Arabia has denied the allegation that the Crown Prince was related to the death of Khashoggi.
Saudi Arabia writer and analyst Ali Shihabi says, "The US will have to give the crown prince the benefit of the doubt because there is no concrete evidence here."
Media reports quoting intelligence sources claimed that the CIA "believed that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman would have ordered the assassination of Khashoggi."
But Ali Shihabi says, "Whether it is the CIA or the Home Department or the Pentagon, the truth is that it is very important for America to be with Saudi Arabia to do anything in the Middle East."
On the other hand, Omer Anas says, "The security of the Persian Gulf is important, and the Biden administration would not want the influence of China or Russia to be here. Biden has already said that wherever Russia has influence, America will increase its influence."
Iran Agreement
There may also be differences between Saudi Arabia and the US over Iran's nuclear deal. During the tenure of Obama, Saudi Arabia had also unanimously supported the Iran deal.
Biden has said that he is going to re-implement the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran. However, the Biden administration will certainly try to create some new pressure on Iran. The Saudi would like that some of his things to be accepted in this matter. However, Iran has said that the agreement Trump had canceled will be re-implemented in the same format.
"If you look at the Biden administration's appointments to foreign policy, nuclear civilization and revenue positions, directly from implementing all nuclear negotiations and agreements," says Eli Geranmayeh, deputy director of the European Council's Middle East and North Africa Program on Foreign Affairs Are concerned. "
Says Omer Anas, "What happens between the US and Iran on the Iran Accord will also be very important for Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia would not like to see the Shia country in its neighborhood being empowered."
Saudi Arabia is an important security ally of the US in the Middle East and its role has been instrumental in stopping Shia rebel groups in the region.
Professor Kumaraswamy says, "Biden will not be able to adopt President Obama's policy on Iran. He will not be able to ignore Saudi Arabia. This means that Saudi Arabia will also be included in Biden's Iran policy."
