Probably because they already did that for years and now Yemen is unkillable. Good work everyone.

KSA loving with Yemen again seems more likely to end up with the Saudis conquered than anything bad happening to Yemen. It makes sense they are reluctant.

Especially since none of the Western powers are gonna send in any troops and years of bombing Yemen hasn’t gotten them anywhere.

i think the internalized logic goes: the hated enemy are stupid mindless animals, so if you got ganked by one thats because you were dumber than a beast

The US is run by morons. Why would they WANT UAE and Saudi involved? The only reason this has gone on as long as it has is they're worried about oil price second order impacts. How long do you think it takes for Ansar Allah to launch a missile at port of Jazan or Yanbu if they got involved again. Just idiocy all around

Tech founder from NYC volunteers to serve with IDF: ‘My heart is in Israel’

quote:

New Yorker Noy Leyb was watching images of Hamas terrorists infiltrating Israel in his Upper East Side apartment on Saturday when he decided to ship off to the Middle East and volunteer to serve with his elite unit in the Israel Defense Forces unit.

“No one is expecting me to come – my commanders even said there’s no expectation since I’m not in the country,” Leyb told The Post. “For me, there’s no question. My heart is in Israel. There’s no chance anything would stop me from coming back.”

As co-founder and COO of startup BachPlace – a smart booking platform for group trips – Leyb hurriedly had to cancel meetings and get-togethers and “living my normal American life.” But he didn’t give the decision a second thought.

“That’s on hold – for now, and who knows for how long,” Leyb, 32, said about his career and personal life. “Maybe a day, a week or months from now. I’m leaving here on a one-way ticket, not sure when I’m coming back.”

He spent the early part of Saturday trying to book the first flight to the Jewish homeland and secured the midnight flight.

“I was yelling at the ticket agent, why she couldn’t get me an earlier flight,” he said. “I don’t even know what I packed or what I’m going with, but I just need myself and that’s it.”

Upon arrival, the reservist who first enlisted in the IDF in 2009 at age 18, is bracing himself for a battle.

“This isn’t an operation – I fully expect to go to war,” he said.

Leyb called the IDF “the most moral army in the world,” describing how the armed forces “literally warn terrorists that we’re coming and tell them to move before we neutralize a threat.”

“We value the wives of women and children and innocent civilians,” he said, noting that Israeli soldiers bring terrorists to the hospital for treatment, and drawing a contrast with Hamas, which “puts rockets under schools, and use women and children as human shields.”

The brutal nature of Saturday’s surprise attack, “the savagery, the inhumanity – it’s like we’re in a dream,” he said of the images, including kidnappings, bodies of young and old paraded for sport.

“This is what you see in the craziest action movies. But it’s happening right now.”

He’s not naive about the danger that lies ahead, but he’s unwavering in his determination to face it: “I’m not going to lie, I am scared. I am nervous.”

In the final moments before his flight into the unknown, Leyb, voice cracking, said that he rounded up his Star of David necklace, yarmulke, and prayer book for the trip. He called his parents, said a prayer, and “enjoyed the last moments of civilization.”

The United Nations security council has postponed a vote calling for a sustainable cessation of hostilities in Gaza to give more time for diplomats to meet US objections to the wording of the draft resolution.

The vote had been due on Monday in New York but the US said it could not support a reference to a “cessation of hostilities”, but might accept a call for a “suspension of hostilities”.

a handful of special forces hanging out is hardly an invasion. Like special forces in most places anymore their mission is likely to play xbox and complain. You aren't getting anywhere in Yemen without tens of thousands of troops clearing out those underground bunkers where they are building poo poo and there's no way that is ever happening unless they can get some locals to do the bulk of the fighting. They definitely aren't going to get KSA/UAE to fight (which also would be sub sub contracting considering they also sub contracted their fighting) and this conflict seems to be helping the Yemen factions get along better.

i disagree with chris hedges opener, he assumes that israel will succeed in the current situation, the wont, theyre gonna lose right now. yes they'll kill alot of people but they wont succeed in the current genocidal war.

chris hedges is really good, but he has this way of starting off his point with the most apocalytically depressing and negative outlook.

Many of Israel’s best educated and young have left the country to places like Canada, Australia and the U.K., with as many as one million moving to the United States. Even Germany has seen an influx of around 20,000 Israelis in the first two decades of this century. Around 470,000 Israelis have left the country since Oct. 7.
