Trump says Saudi Arabia may accept Israeli help against Houthis, revive Abraham Accords

Trump said Saudi Arabia would likely accept Israeli help against the Houthis as he revived talk of bringing the kingdom into the Abraham Accords.

  • On Friday, President Donald Trump said normalization between Israel and Saudi Arabia is "back on the table," noting Riyadh is "very happy" with Israeli and American support against Iran-backed Houthi rebels.
  • This security cooperation gained urgency after a missile strike on King Khalid International Airport last Saturday killed at least 12 people and wounded more than 300, forcing the kingdom to seek regional aid.
  • Earlier this week, American officials explored with IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir whether Israel could carry out direct strikes against the Houthis, though Zamir warned of potential regional escalation.
  • Saudi Arabia maintains that establishing diplomatic relations requires a credible path toward a sovereign Palestinian state, a condition that complicates the Abraham Accords' expansion despite current security alignment.
  • While Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remains in office, progress remains difficult, as sources report Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed does not trust the Israeli leader, despite Trump's optimism about the Abraham Accords.
