Saudi Arabia has exchanged more than 800 prisoners of war with Yemen’s Houthi rebels. It’s the largest such prisoner exchange since 2020 and comes after Saudi Arabia and Iran recently agreed to restore ties, boosting the prospects for a negotiated settlement to the U.S.-supported, Saudi-led war on Yemen, which has left over 21 million people in need of assistance. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia has reached a deal to resume consular services with Syria, after the first trip by a Syrian foreign minister to the kingdom since Syria’s civil war began in 2011.
