Analysts: The Houthi escalation will increase pressure on Israel and expand the cycle of war. Political experts believe that the announcement by the leader of the Yemeni Ansar Allah group, Abdul Malik al-Houthi, to expand his operations would increase pressure.

Dr. Hassan Mneimneh, a researcher at the Middle East Institute in Washington, believes that the extent of the expected escalation from the American side is linked to the Houthis’ ability to implement their escalatory threat.
