Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is seeking Saudi Arabia’s approval, through U.S. mediation, for Israel to join the campaign against Yemen’s Houthis, according to a diplomatic source who spoke to Haaretz.
The source said Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman opposes Israeli military involvement. The source attributed that opposition to the likely backlash among the kingdom’s public. The report did not describe any response from the Israeli government or the U.S. government to these claims.
Seeking agreement before taking a step with regional consequences reflects the peacemaking urgency that Romans 12:18 calls believers to pursue (Romans 12:18). The reported Saudi objection concerns public reaction, which the source identified as the main obstacle.
