Netanyahu Offers Gulf States Help Against Houthis Amid Red Sea Tensions

MaarivCenter
Translated & summarized from Maariv by baba
The story · English

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly offered his services to Gulf states in a broad campaign against the Houthi movement. This development comes as Israel closely monitors the Houthis' advances in the Bab el-Mandeb strait, a critical maritime chokepoint. The Israeli military, the IDF, is reportedly practicing scenarios involving potential Houthi incursions into the southern Israeli city of Eilat.

Recent reports indicate that Israel has been gathering intelligence on Houthi movements following their takeover of the port city of Al Mukha, located within the Bab el-Mandeb strait. Israeli concerns center on the Houthis potentially consolidating control over the port, thereby increasing pressure on oil tankers and commercial shipping in the region. Such actions could disrupt maritime traffic into the Red Sea and exacerbate threats to global trade and energy routes.

A military source confirmed that Israel is closely observing the conflict in Yemen and shifts in the balance of power along the coast. The Houthis' actions in Al Mukha are seen as a significant escalation that could have far-reaching implications for international shipping and regional stability.
