In a disturbing and infuriating turn of events, the Iran-backed Houthis have declared war on Israel. This declaration comes after the Houthis claimed responsibility for a series of missile and drone attacks against Israel. These attacks were carried out in support of the genocidal terrorist organization Hamas. The Houthis, a terrorist organization known for its slogan of “death to the United States, death to Israel,” seized control of Yemen’s capital in 2014 and triggered an ongoing civil war. Despite their ties to Iran and their goal of destroying America, the Biden administration shockingly removed the Houthis from the official list of foreign terrorist organizations. This decision is a dangerous and misguided move that threatens the security of Israel and the entire Middle East.

To add insult to injury, the Houthis have also resumed their attacks on Saudi Arabia, a longtime rival of Iran. These attacks have reportedly resulted in the deaths of four Saudi soldiers. It is clear that the Houthis, with the support of Iran, are escalating their aggression and seeking to destabilize the region. The fact that President Biden has halted offensive weapon sales to Saudi Arabia and delisted the Houthis as a terrorist organization only emboldens these dangerous actors.
It is crucial that the United States stand firmly with Israel and Saudi Arabia against these terrorist threats. Israel has already taken action to prevent another horrific attack like the one carried out by Hamas on October 7th. The Saudi military is on high alert and has reportedly intercepted Houthi missiles that were intended for Israel. However, it is clear that more needs to be done to protect these nations from the violent and extremist ideologies of groups like the Houthis and Hamas.
In the midst of these escalating tensions, it is alarming to see the Iranian and Saudi Foreign Ministers coordinating their opposition to Israel. This only serves to further isolate and vilify the Jewish state. It is imperative that the international community supports Israel’s right to defend itself against terrorist organizations that seek its destruction. The deployment of additional troops to the Middle East by the United States is a step in the right direction, but more must be done to counter the growing threat posed by Iran and its proxies.
The declaration of war by the Iran-backed Houthis against Israel is a concerning development that demands a strong and decisive response. The actions of the Biden administration, including delisting the Houthis as terrorists and halting weapons sales to Saudi Arabia, have only emboldened these dangerous actors. It is crucial that the United States stands firm with Israel and Saudi Arabia and takes decisive action to counter the threat posed by Iran and its proxies in the region. The security and stability of the Middle East depend on it.
