🇮🇱🇾🇪🇸🇦 Netanyahu reportedly wants Israel’s military in the Houthi war as missiles keep hitting Saudi Arabia
Haaretz reports Netanyahu is requesting permission to bring Israel’s military into the fight against the Houthis, and fighting next to Israel is the LAST thing MBS can sell at home.
Matt Duss of the Center for International Policy takes the report seriously but has questions, since Netanyahu hasn’t shown much interest in asking permission, and he thinks Israel could change very little in Yemen:
“These are political problems for which there is not a military solution.”
Israel has struck Yemen before without changing much, but war is Netanyahu’s natural political environment, and October 27 is two weeks away.
