The money follows an initial payment of the same amount announced in August, when Riyadh committed to provide $1.2 billion to ease the government's budget deficit and pay civil servants salaries. "The second batch of the grant to support addressing the budget deficit for the Yemeni government was transferred to the Central Bank of Yemen in Aden, amounting to $250 million to support salaries, wages and expenses," Mohammed al-Jaber, the Saudi ambassador to Yemen, said on social media.

  • Unless Biden exerts real pressure on Israel, Saudi Arabia will not normalize relations

    The administration’s inability to move Benjamin Netanyahu to focus on hostage release rather than indefinitely prolonging the four-month-old war, outlining a future for Gaza and curbing his extremist ministers’ more outlandish statements regarding that future — or, better yet, just firing them — has increasingly frustrated Riyadh.

    Saudi Aramco’s focus on offshore oil and gas expansion projects, including the Dammam and Berri, Marjan, and Zuluf developments, underscores its commitment to meeting production targets. However, the revised mandate necessitates a reevaluation of future investments, with potential implications for projects like Safaniya and Manifa.

This shift underscores the importance of offshore expansion to maintain the country’s overall production levels.
