The Spin
Pro-Palestine narrative
As long as the Israeli occupation regime continues its genocidal campaign against Palestinians as well as its blockade on Gaza, one can only expect the Houthis to carry out further similar strikes. Make no mistake, not even Israeli aggression against Yemen will affect its unwavering support for Palestine.
Pro-Israel narrative
Israel and its allies have retaliated against the Iran-backed Houthis, but to no avail as the threat from Yemen remains. That's because the Houthi movement isn't a mere terrorist organization like other Iran proxies, but rather a rogue state actor. Deterrence against them will only work if they are treated as such.
