The Houthis are a problem for everyone, not just Israel – i24NEWS Interview

Miri provides a comprehensive overview of Israel’s ongoing challenges with Hamas and the hostage crisis, emphasizing that Israeli efforts to dismantle Hamas in Gaza and secure the hostages are related but largely separate pursuits. She warns that without a viable alternative for Gaza’s governance, Hamas risks regaining its foothold—as its ideology persists in the absence of a concrete post-war plan. Miri also turns to the Houthis, underlining their escalating involvement in the conflict against Israel and highlighting the critical role Iran plays in arming and enabling them. She explains the complex dynamics in Yemen, the humanitarian plight there, and the Houthis’ strategic power over international shipping routes. Miri argues that limited Western strikes have done little to deter the Houthis, stressing the need for a sustained international coalition—including US, UK, and France—to counter their destabilizing influence.
