🇸🇾 Syria Could Deploy Up to 20,000 Soldiers in War Against the Houthis

Saudi Arabia and Syria are discussing the deployment of Syrian soldiers to Yemen to take part in the internationally recognized government’s offensive against the Houthis. According to US officials familiar with the negotiations, Damascus can provide between 10,000 and 20,000 military personnel.

The issue was discussed at a meeting between Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa in Riyadh. No decision has been made so far, but according to the sources, the US government has no fundamental objections: A Syrian contingent would make it possible to reinforce the offensive without directly involving US ground troops.

If Damascus agrees, the war in Yemen would definitively develop beyond the confrontation between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis — it would then already involve a major multinational ground operation.
