Political analyst Mubarak Al-Ati said Western disregard for Saudi warnings about Houthi terrorism since 2018 has contributed to escalating threats to regional security and the global economy.

Speaking to Al Ekhbariya TV, he added that Western leniency toward the Houthis enabled them to disrupt global trade through the Bab Al-Mandab Strait, impacting energy supplies and international commerce.

Al-Ati noted that the recent significant shift in the US and UK positions reflects an acknowledgment of previous mistakes.
