Yemen Signs Largest Prisoner Swap Deal in a Decade

Narrative A

This deal is a genuine humanitarian success, but it doesn't change the bigger picture — the Houthis remain a destabilizing Iran-backed force, and any progress is overshadowed by their continued regional aggression. The swap covers only a fraction of detainees, with both sides committing only to vague future talks on those still held. Real peace requires more than exchanging captives while missile and drone threats continue to loom over the region.
