Houthi threat stalls potential Saudi-Israeli shift, expert says

A Tel Aviv University analyst argues that despite Saudi efforts to expand intelligence sharing and military coordination with Israel against the Houthis, no broad rapprochement is likely due to Israel’s election cycle and Riyadh’s domestic politics; any cooperation would be discreet and limited, with Riyadh also looking to other regional partners as U.S. involvement remains uncertain and Iran uses the Yemen conflict to press for concessions, while the Mecca Agreement offers little immediate relief.
