Trump Urges Saudi Arabia to Accept Israeli Help Against Houthis, Cites Abraham Accords ProspectsPreviousNext

US President Donald Trump urged Saudi Arabia to accept Israel's offer of assistance against Yemen's Houthi rebels amid escalating attacks. He expressed optimism that Saudi Arabia might join the Abraham Accords, which normalize relations between Israel and Arab countries. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu noted many Middle Eastern states seek Israel's help. Saudi Arabia has not formalized ties with Israel, citing the need for a clear pathway to Palestinian statehood. Iran denies involvement in Houthi attacks but is reported to provide intelligence support to the Houthis.
