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, a diplomatic source told Haaretz, adding that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman opposes Israeli military involvement because of the likely backlash among the kingdom's public.

if they do they would likely start expanding the occupied territory into saudi arabia over the years. it starts as a "justified military presence" and then develops into full occupation. of course what the prince says is real, too, though.

MBS is an incredibly weak leader so it's very possible he chooses the short term solution of letting Israel take over the place but in the long term that's guaranteed to come back and haunt the Saudis
