How Israeli support could most effectively aid Saudi Arabia against the Houthis - analysis

Any cooperation against the Houthis can increase the regional defense connections and defense infrastructure. This helps defend against Iranian-backed threats and Iran’s direct threats.

There is increasing talk about the ways Israel could assist Saudi Arabia in its conflict against the Iranian-backed Houthis. If such support were to materialize, what form might it take and what could prove most effective? This discussion comes at a time when questions have arisen regarding whether Saudi Arabia will join the Abraham Accords.

Since these accords began in 2020, Riyadh has maintained a cautious stance, preferring that Israel take positive steps concerning the Palestinian issue. According to US President Donald Trump, Saudi Arabia may receive assistance from Israel. Despite Saudi Arabia's apparent downplaying of Israel's potential support, the ongoing attacks by the Houthis on Saudi Arabia have drawn the attention of the US, which has not directly engaged in the fighting but may be providing aid through intelligence sharing.
