The Israeli government was not ready for an unexpected US diplomatic turn against the Middle East. According to The Jerusalem Post , Israel has not received a warning about US President Donald Trump's decision to stop Hussites in Yemen.
According to sources, the Israeli authorities were stunned by such a statement, since the United States was still an active player in counteracting the Proiganian forces, which also belong to Huse. This decision is of concern in Tel Aviv, where Hussites are considered a potential threat not only to the stability of the region, but also for the safety of Israel.
Previously, US strikes in Hussite's positions were coordinated with allies in the region, including Israel. However, this time the change of position took place without consultation or at least informing key partners. The Israeli government has not officially commented on the situation, but according to Israeli media, diplomats are demanding clarification from Washington.
Analysts believe that such a step can affect the perception of US reliability as a strategic partner in the region. It is unclear whether this statement means a complete change in Washington's course on Yemen or is a temporary political signal.
