US President Donald Trump has said Saudi Arabia should take up Israel’s offer of help against Yemen’s Houthis. Asked by reporters at the White House whether Riyadh should accept the offer, Trump replied: “Yeah, I do, sure. Israel has been very helpful to Saudi Arabia.” Earlier this week, a diplomatic source told Haaretz that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had offered Riyadh help against the Houthis through US mediation, partly to strengthen ties with the kingdom. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, however, opposed the move, fearing a backlash among the Saudi public.
