Israel had sought Saudi Arabia's support for a military operation against the Houthis. However, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman did not agree to the proposal. The Israeli newspaper *Haaretz* reported that concerns regarding a negative reaction from the Saudi public to military cooperation with Israel, along with Riyadh's steadfast stance on the Palestinian issue, played a role in this decision.
