Israel believes an international coalition will ultimately be needed to confront the Houthis following their takeover of the strategic Bab el-Mandeb Strait over the weekend, Kan News reporter Itay Blumental reports. An Israeli official warned that without such a coalition, there could be “anarchy in one of the most important shipping routes in the world.” Israel is currently avoiding direct involvement in the fighting between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia, but has begun talks with regional partners led by the U.S. Experts warn the Houthis could relatively easily block the strait using Kornet missiles or explosive-laden boats.
