The Yemeni presidency has announced the formation of a new government headed by Shaea Al‑Zindani, consisting of 34 ministers, including 10 from the previous government and 3 women. The Presidential Leadership Council approved the decision through a presidential decree.

On Friday, the Yemeni presidency confirmed the formation of the new government under Al‑Zindani, who will also serve as Minister of Foreign Affairs.
