Why U.S. and Israeli Support for Saudi Arabia Against the Houthis Remains Limited
Saudi Arabia has not formally normalised relations with Israel through the Abraham Accords. Riyadh maintains that any such move must include a credible and irreversible path towards Palestinian statehood. The post argues that this disagreement has limited deeper U.S.-Saudi and Israel-Saudi security cooperation against Houthi attacks. It says intelligence-sharing and defensive coordination may continue, while broader military and strategic arrangements remain subject to unresolved diplomatic conditions. However, the extent to which support is being deliberately withheld to pressure Saudi Arabia is disputed and would require independent evidence. Regional security decisions also involve the Gaza war, Red Sea shipping attacks, U.S. military priorities and Saudi Arabia's own defence strategy.
