Kerry in Saudi Arabia as quartet discuss Yemen

US Secretary of State John Kerry arrived in Riyadh Sunday to discuss the situation in Yemen with regional counterparts.
Kerry met Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Naif before he joined Saudi Foreign Minister Adel Al-Jubeir and ministers from Oman, Britain and UAE as well as the UN representative for Yemen for a meeting to discuss the Yemeni crisis.

On his expectations from the meeting, he said that "this is just last show up before the President Obama administration say good bye in transfer of power to the Republicans headed by Donald Trump.
A US embassy official at the palace also confirmed of the quartet meeting.
