Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly sought Saudi Arabia’s support for a possible campaign against Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen. But Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is said to have opposed the proposal, wary of domestic backlash and the political cost of being seen alongside Israel. With tensions rising across West Asia and Israel’s elections approaching, the reported plan raises questions about regional security, Saudi-Israel normalisation and Netanyahu’s political calculations. The video also examines renewed scrutiny over warnings reportedly issued before the October 7 Hamas attack, the disputed accounts surrounding those warnings, and the growing calls for accountability in Israel.
