🔶 Saudi Arabia under pressure; "Establishing relations with Israel still off the table"

Regional officials report that, in an effort to reduce the reserves of interceptor missiles, Saudi Arabia has asked its allies for help in countering missile and drone attacks coming from Yemen. However, there are still no signs of direct military support.

Israel’s state radio-television network (Kan), citing “two regional officials,” reported that with continued fighting with Houthi rebels in Yemen, Saudi Arabia’s missile defense system reserves are running out and the country has reached out to regional and Western allies.

According to these officials, Riyadh has asked France, the UK, Pakistan, and Egypt to bolster regional air defenses in order to defend against missiles and drones fired by the Houthis and other Iran-backed groups.
