urban forum
Al-Alimi is scheduled to address the forum, reviewing local development efforts, structural and financial pressures and challenges imposed by the Houthi war on the Yemeni people, the massive destruction it has caused to infrastructure and basic services, and the displacement of millions of Yemenis from their homes.
Abbas’ visit coincided with a meeting between the Palestinian factions of Fatah and Hamas in Cairo over post-war governing the Gaza Strip. An official security source said Fatah and Hamas have shown more flexibility and positivity towards establishing a community support committee to manage Gaza.
