Former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, in remarks delivered at a school in Ramat Gan that was destroyed by a Houthi missile last week, said yesterday that Israel and the U.S. should work together against Yemen’s Houthis, as preparation for joint action against Iran, which he predicted will take place soon.
“We need to do more against the Houthis, their leaders and their missile array,” said Gallant, a Likud member of the Knesset (MK), who has made few public speeches since being replaced by Israel Katz last month. He claimed that joint action between Israel and the U.S. against the Houthis “will have a practical effect within a short time.”
