Saudi Arabia Struggles to Control Houthi Attacks Despite Arms Investment

Saudi Arabia faces challenges controlling Houthi attacks despite significant investment in arms, with reports of a $1 billion offer to the Houthis via Iran.

The Mecca Pact, formed by Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan for deterrence, has failed to stop Houthi attacks, with varying levels of ratification and commitment from members.

The Houthis pose a serious threat to Saudi security and economic diversification projects like NEOM, highlighting the kingdom's inability to decisively counter the group.
