A major geopolitical realignment might be happening in the Middle East. After the Chinese-brokered Saudi-Iranian rapprochement, the Saudis are already working to normalize Syria's position in international relations, which should be straightforward. A peace deal in Yemen sounds possible, but it's much messier and I can't figure what it'd look like. Partitioning north and south Yemen sounds realistic to me, but negotiating countries (Arabia and Iran) wouldn't ever accept it because secession is a taboo in international relations. Maybe they'll just make a lame national unity government that'll fall apart in a few years.
Meanwhile in Idlib, jihadists can now enjoy sushi:
