MBS Seeks Israel Help on Bab al-Mandeb
According to the Israeli newspaper "Yisrael Hayom," Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia requested intelligence assistance from Israel to prevent the Houthis from closing the strategic Bab al-Mandeb Strait. Bin Salman directed his request to Gulf countries and other regional partners, as well as to Israel indirectly, as part of efforts to counter the attack Saudi Arabia is facing in Yemen—especially amid the worsening military situation and the increasing threats to vital oil export routes. Reports indicate that Saudi Arabia is facing a strategic dilemma due to the deteriorating security of the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, one of the three crucial passages for oil export. The United States has not responded to Saudi Arabia's request for direct intervention, raising concerns about the security of global supplies.
