Trump: Israel aided in war against Houthis, Abraham Accords with Saudi Arabia back on the table
This week a diplomatic source said Netanyahu is trying – with U.S. mediation – to convince Saudi Arabia to allow Israel to intervene in the war with the Houthis. According to him, bin Salman is not interested in Israeli aid because joining forces with Israel would not look good in the kingdom's public opinion
The UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office has issued a warning advising British citizens against all but essential travel to Saudi Arabia. This latest advisory, issued on Friday, extends the previous warning to cover the entire country, maintaining the previous restriction of avoiding travel within 10 kilometers of the border with Yemen.
The heightened threat now encompasses airports, Saudi military and defense facilities, military bases, ports, and energy infrastructure across Saudi Arabia, including major cities such as Abha, Jizan, Najran, Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, and Yanbu. Air travel is particularly at risk, with very likely threats of attacks and further disruptions or cancellations of flights.
The UK advises British nationals to stay away from Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport until it is deemed secure. For those considering departure from the kingdom, the FCDO suggests overland travel to a neighboring country and subsequent international flight as the safest option.
