Political analyst Dr. Saeed Al-Qadi said Yemeni forces are continuing to advance in several regions, while the Houthi militia is experiencing a complete collapse in multiple areas, according to his assessment.

Speaking to Al-Ekhbariya TV, Al-Qadi explained that if Yemeni forces maintain their current momentum and military tactics, they could retake Sanaa within weeks.

He noted that recent developments on the ground reflect ongoing gains by Yemeni forces, while the Houthis are retreating in several regions. Al-Qadi believes that if this military trajectory continues, it could accelerate the push toward the capital.

On the international front, Al-Qadi said the global community now recognizes the threat the Houthis pose to navigation in the Bab Al-Mandab Strait and the Red Sea, urging a firmer stance against them.

He stressed that the danger posed by the Houthis is not limited to developments inside Yemen, but also extends to the security of maritime navigation in Bab Al-Mandab and the Red Sea.
