Saudi Arabia Seeks Israeli Intelligence Support Amid Rising Houthi Attacks
Saudi Arabia has reportedly sought intelligence assistance from Israel through US Central Command amid escalating attacks by Iran-backed Houthi rebels targeting Saudi oil infrastructure and strategic waterways like the Bab al-Mandeb Strait. This outreach follows Pakistan's refusal to deploy military support despite its defense pact with Riyadh. While Saudi Arabia and Israel lack formal diplomatic ties, their shared security concerns have led to mediated talks focused on intelligence sharing to counter Houthi advances. Britain and the US have also offered limited support, mainly through intelligence and advisory roles.
