Israeli Middle East researcher Dr. Edy Cohen said that the escalating crisis between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia is good news for Israel, as the two adversaries harm each other. The statement was posted on a social media platform.
Amid ongoing tensions between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia, Israeli historian and Middle East researcher Dr. Edy Cohen commented on the situation, stating that the crisis is expanding and that it is beneficial for Israel when its enemies fight each other. The Houthis, a Yemeni group backed by Iran, have been engaged in a prolonged conflict with Saudi Arabia and its allies. As The Zioneer has previously reported, the Houthi-Saudi confrontation has seen escalations, including clashes and statements from both sides. Cohen's analysis reflects a strategic perspective familiar in Israeli discourse: that rivalries among Iran-aligned forces in the region can serve Israeli interests. The statement was made on a social media platform and has not been independently verified beyond the original post.
