Israel and Saudi Arabia Hold Secret Talks on Yemen Conflict Aid
Regional sources report that Saudi Arabia and Israel are engaged in covert discussions aimed at formulating a military assistance plan to counter the Houthi rebels in Yemen. These contacts reportedly followed recent overtures from Riyadh seeking Jerusalem's help amid setbacks on the Yemeni front.
According to the reports, Saudi Arabia, through the U.S. CENTCOM command, had previously requested military aid from several regional nations, with Israel being a primary focus. Current dialogue between the two countries centers on the nature of the assistance and the necessary coordination for future actions against the Houthis.
Sources close to U.S. Central Command describe these as preliminary talks. The initial phase is focused on providing Israeli intelligence support to Saudi Arabia's operations against the Houthi insurgency. However, this collaboration could potentially mark the beginning of a new chapter in relations between Riyadh and Jerusalem.
