Path to Peace: Grundberg Shuttle Diplomacy in Riyadh and Hints of "Building a Path" Aden/Riyadh - Arabian Sea / Follow-ups Facts: The office of the UN envoy, Hans Grundberg, announced yesterday the conclusion of a visit to Riyadh and meetings with the head of the Leadership Council and regional officials; he also presented a briefing to the Security Council last week focusing on preventing the "rebound" of the Red Sea war into the Yemeni interior and reviving a realistic negotiating track. Behind the News: The visit is an indication of "engineering arrangements" economic-security before any major political deal: Maritime de-escalation, monetary and banking measures, and measurable humanitarian understandings. The success of the path depends on linking economic incentives to security guarantees and preventing mutual escalation.
