US strikes against Houthis will help the group portray itself as the defender of the Palestinians and rally support inside Yemen.

Yemen’s Houthi rebels opened a new volley of attacks on commercial shipping in the southern Red Sea, but Washington appears in no rush to authorize US military strikes on the Iran-backed group.

Under pressure from Washington, Israeli military officials say they are implementing options to limit further harm to civilians as they expand the military campaign to southern Gaza.

The Biden administration thought painstaking diplomacy could contain Iran and, by extension, its proxies in Yemen, Syria, Iraq and Lebanon. But by papering over the Palestinian question, Washington handed its adversary a strategic opportunity.
