Netanyahu's Cabinet Plans Spark Coalition Tensions Ahead of Elections

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that key security and justice ministries will remain with Likud in the next government, sparking a fierce dispute with Otzma Yehudit. The party accuses Netanyahu of planning to remove Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and potentially include Gadi Eisenkot in a broader coalition. Otzma Yehudit views these statements as a move to sideline them and transfer portfolios to the left. The conflict escalates less than two weeks before the Knesset elections.

Saudi Arabia Struggles Against Cheap Houthi Drones Despite Massive Defense Spending

Saudi Arabia is struggling to counter low-cost drone and missile attacks from Yemen's Houthi rebels, despite spending over $82 billion annually on defense. Experts cite the kingdom's defense system's poor adaptation to asymmetric threats and a significant cost imbalance between interceptors and drones. Internal military divisions and reliance on foreign contractors also pose challenges. The situation is forcing Saudi Arabia to seek new defense partnerships with Pakistan and Turkey, as a weakened Saudi stance could benefit Iran.
