Yemen War Disrupts Saudi Arabia's Ambitious Plans, Offering Israel Strategic Opportunities

The war with Yemen's Houthis is straining Saudi Arabia's economy and threatening Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's "Vision 2030" projects, including the NEOM city and the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC). Economist Shlomo Maoz suggests this vulnerability offers Israel an opportunity to strengthen its regional position and secure Haifa's role in the IMEC. Maoz proposes Israeli-Saudi cooperation in defense and technology, potentially leading to Saudi Arabia joining the Abraham Accords and ensuring the IMEC route through Haifa, countering alternative routes promoted by Turkey and benefiting China.
