A senior Saudi official told Saudi media that there is a historic opportunity for cooperation with Israel to end Houthi rule in Yemen, calling on Israel to collaborate to stop the bloodshed.
A senior Saudi official has publicly called for cooperation with Israel against the Houthis in Yemen, describing the moment as a 'historic opportunity.' The official, speaking to Saudi media, urged Israel to collaborate to end Houthi rule and stop what he described as decades of bloodshed. The statement marks a rare direct appeal from a Saudi official for Israeli involvement in the Yemen conflict. The Houthis, an Iranian-backed movement, have been a common security concern for both Saudi Arabia and Israel, regularly launching missiles and drones at Saudi territory and Israeli targets. While Israel has not officially responded to the appeal, the statement reflects a continued alignment of interests between Jerusalem and Riyadh against the Iran-led axis. The Zioneer has previously covered the Houthi threat and the evolving regional dynamics. As of this report, there is no official confirmation from Israeli or Saudi sources beyond the media report, and the identity of the official remains undisclosed.
