Israeli View: Normalization Path with Saudi via Bab al-Mandab
The article discusses the escalation of the confrontation between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis in Yemen and its impact on the security of maritime routes, particularly the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, which has become a war zone threatening global trade freedom. The study indicates that the deterioration of Saudi trust in American support enhances the prospects of establishing a strategic alliance with Israel, aimed at confronting Iran and limiting the influence of the Houthis. Additionally, it mentions a projected land bridge connecting Gulf ports to Israel via Saudi Arabia and Jordan, to bolster security and logistical cooperation. This normalization is seen as part of an Israeli strategy to expand its regional relations and capitalize on the current security situation to strengthen its legitimacy and establish an effective regional defense framework, with a focus on leveraging American support amid limited political opportunities.
