Israel is reportedly intensifying its diplomatic and military outreach to form a broad international coalition—including the United States—to launch renewed strikes against the Iran-backed group in Yemen , Amid escalating attacks by Houthi militants targeting commercial shipping and Israeli infrastructure.

Senior Israeli officials have sent formal communications to Washington, urging more robust joint operations and expanded military coordination, citing what they describe as a “global maritime security threat.” 

Israel argues that the Houthis’ continued missile and drone strikes on vessels in the Red Sea and infrastructure such as Eilat Port and Ben Gurion Airport call for collective action beyond limited air raids.

Sources close to the Israeli defense establishment suggest that the proposed coalition may include regional and Western powers and could mimic past multinational efforts in Syria and Lebanon. 

Intelligence-sharing between Israel and the United States has reportedly increased in recent weeks, with a focus on neutralizing Houthi launch capabilities and disrupting their supply chains.
