    • UAE: Regional affairs distribution between Sheikh Mansour and Sheikh Tahnoon

    • UAE President Mohammad Bin Zayed distributes roles in regional affairs between his brothers, UAE National Security Advisor Sheikh Tahnoon and Vice President Sheikh Mansour. This was depicted during Sheikh Mansour's meetings in Riyadh with MBS and KBS. Saudi Arabia conveyed that it highly prefers dealing with Sheikh Mansour over Sheikh Tahnoon for several reasons. The U.S. is pushing for a bigger role for Sheikh Mansour.

    Spotlight

    • KSA: MBS and KBS ask the UAE for intelligence support in Yemen, Sheikh Mansour replies and carries more demands back to Abu Dhabi. MBS draws a line for what he can accept as a price for Emirati assistance in terms of UAE influence in Yemen. The U.S. pushes for better Saudi-UAE cooperation.

    • Qatar: Current mediation efforts between the U.S. and Iran include a sequencing strategy and a message from Emir Tamim to Pezeshkian.
