Abstract: Abstract Conflict analysis as one of the most challenging and demanding issues within different fields of nowadays world, is generally characterized by two types of complexities: structural and behavioral. Therefore, scholars worldwide to tackle the mentioned complexities welcome a multi-methodology intervention. Consequently, this study focuses on the development and application of multi-methodological intervention benefiting from the advantages of Soft OR and Game theory to deal more effectively with the complex nature of a real-world problem. Accordingly, the paper contributes to JOURNEY making methodology through developing new concepts, making it richer information-wise, and thus more reliable. Moreover, it applied the proposed model for the Saudi-led war on Yemen, where the latter faces one of the world’s worst humanitarian crisis. In addition, a stability analysis considered investigating stable scenarios (equilibrium) for all parties. Ultimately, findings indicate that only one stable scenario can stop the war and resolve one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises.
