Why is the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia one of the wealthiest nations in the world, struggling to defend its borders against Houthi fighters in Yemen?
In this episode of TV7’s Jerusalem Studio, guest host Reuben Ben Shalom sits down with Amir Oren to unpack the escalating conflict between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis. They analyze the structural reasons behind Saudi Arabia’s defense strategy, the historical roots of the conflict dating back to the 1960s, and whether the Houthis are truly independent actors or mere proxies controlled by Iran.
