Israel Coalition Against Houthis: Pressuring US for Yemen Strikes
Share this @internewscast.com

Israel is urging the United States to resume military operations against Yemen’s Houthi rebels and assemble an international alliance to counter the group’s growing attacks on global shipping, potentially pulling America into further Middle East conflicts.

Why it matters: The increasingly frequent Houthi attacks on maritime routes are jeopardizing international trade, especially in the Red Sea, thereby affecting global markets. However, Israel’s insistence could lead to the U.S. becoming involved in an expensive conflict that many Americans are unwilling to enter.

Driving the news: Israel has conveyed to the United States that the Houthi attacks should not be seen as solely Israel’s concern, prompting a call for “more intense combined operations.” This would involve renewed U.S. military action and participation from a coalition of other nations, as reported by Kan News, citing a source with knowledge of the situation.

  • The call comes amid recent Houthi attacks, including deadly seizures of two vessels.
  • An unnamed Israeli security official told Kan: “A broad coalition is needed to convey to the Houthi regime that it is in danger.”
  • The message was delivered during Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Washington visit, though the communication channel was not specified.

Catch up quick: The Iran-backed Houthis, controlling much of Yemen, have targeted Israeli and international shipping since November 2023, in solidarity with Hamas, and a U.S.-led aerial campaign against the group paused in May 2025 after a Washington-Houthi agreement, but recent attacks have prompted Israel’s renewed push for American action.

The intrigue: Israel’s request aligns with Netanyahu’s broader diplomatic efforts in Washington, where he faces pressure to secure a Gaza ceasefire but is pivoting to frame Houthi aggression as a global issue to pull the U.S. deeper into the conflict.

Between the lines: Israel’s push for a coalition reflects frustration with the U.S. pause in strikes and a blatant move to rope America into footing the bill for their regional fights, sidestepping their own domestic criticism.

What they’re saying:

  • “A broad coalition is needed to convey to the Houthi regime that it is in danger,” an unnamed Israeli security official told Kan News.
  • “Israel has appealed to the United States to renew its attacks on the Houthis in Yemen,” Israeli Channel 11 reported, highlighting the urgency of the request.

The bottom line: Israel’s relentless pressure for U.S. strikes and a multinational coalition could drag America into another Middle East quagmire, and it’s time Washington questions why we’re always on the hook for Israel’s battles.
