US Tells Israel Not To Strike The Houthis In Yemen<\/span><\/p>\n

The Biden administration has asked Israel not to respond to recent attacks by Yemen\u2019s Houthis<\/strong>,\u00a0The Wall Street Journal<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>reported on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The Houthis, formally known as Ansar Allah, have fired missiles and drones at Israel in response to the Israeli onslaught in Gaza and have targeted Israeli-linked commercial ships in the Red Sea. US warships have responded to the Houthi attacks and have downed several Houthi missiles and drones in recent weeks.<\/p>\n

According to the\u00a0Journal<\/em>, the US is concerned an Israeli response could spark a major regional war<\/strong>. US officials told Israel that the US would handle any potential response, although\u00a0POLITICO<\/em>\u00a0reported<\/a>\u00a0that the administration is not planning on directly targeting the Houthis, at least for now.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0POLITICO<\/em>\u00a0report said the Pentagon has drawn up plans to strike the Houthis, but they have not been presented or recommended to President Biden.<\/p>\n

The report said there is a “high-level consensus within the administration that it does not make sense for the US military to respond directly to the Houthis.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saudi Arabia has also\u00a0urged the US not to strike the Houthis<\/a>\u00a0over concerns that such an attack could jeopardize the Saudi-Houthi peace process. A ceasefire between the Saudis and the Houthis has held relatively well since April 2022, but a lasting peace deal has not yet been signed.<\/p>\n

The US announced sanctions targeting the Houthis on Thursday that target 13 people and firms allegedly involved in the sale and shipment of Iranian commodities. The\u00a0Treasury Department claims\u00a0<\/a>the network has transferred tens of millions of dollars worth of foreign currency to the Houthis.<\/p>\n

Houthis make today\u2019s @ftweekend<\/a> front page. The trump card they held but never played in 8+ years of war against the Saudis: Red Sea disruption. In the Axis of Resistance\u2019s support for Palestine, the Houthis hold the greatest leverage over western economies. How far will they go? pic.twitter.com\/IXSxTlOzU4<\/a><\/p>\n

The US has backed a Saudi-led coalition against the Houthis since 2015 in a brutal war that\u00a0has killed at least 377,000 people<\/a>. But it\u2019s rare that the US and the Houthis directly exchange fire.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
