Sami Hamdi joins Muhammad Jalal to examine the Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia, the renewed war in Yemen and what this escalation means for Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

Following deadly strikes on Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport and disruption to flights, Saudi Arabia faces renewed questions about its air defences and its reliance on American protection. The attacks have also disrupted attendance at Riyadh’s major energy conference, putting the kingdom’s ambitions as an international investment destination under pressure.

In this episode of The Thinking Muslim, Sami explores why he believes Mohammed bin Salman has become increasingly isolated. He examines Donald Trump’s approach to the Houthis and Iran, Saudi Arabia’s rivalry with the UAE, and the limits of the Mecca defence alliance with Pakistan and Türkiye.

The conversation also examines Yemen’s fractured politics and the consequences of foreign intervention. Sami challenges the celebration of the Houthis over Palestine, arguing that Muslim solidarity must also account for their treatment of Yemenis.

What would it take for Yemen’s people to determine their own future? And how should Muslims respond to a conflict in which competing regional powers continue to shape their lives?
