Former Jordanian minister: Houthis unable to inflict significant military damage on Saudi Arabia

Former Jordanian information minister Samih Maaytah has said that the Houthis are unable to inflict significant military damage on Saudi Arabia.

Speaking in an interview with Al Hadath TV, Maaytah added that this is why the Houthis target civilian infrastructure, aiming to draw international attention and threaten regional stability.

He noted that when the Houthis briefly took control of the Bab Al-Mandab Strait a few weeks ago, there was a meeting between the US and the Houthis, during which the Houthis pledged not to target American ships or interests.

Maaytah continued that Yemen's internal conflict has lasted for many years, but the Houthis now seek to attract global attention, believing they can influence and provoke Saudi Arabia.
