A recent attack on Saudi Arabia's main airport has resulted in significant casualties and damage, raising concerns about the potential for an expanding conflict in the region.
What happened
An attack on Riyadh's international airport, claimed by the Iranian-backed Houthi rebel group in Yemen, has killed at least 12 people and wounded over 300. The attack has prompted a strong response from Saudi Arabia and its allies, with the Saudi-led coalition vowing to retaliate against the Houthis.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has condemned the attack and convened a security meeting to assess the threats. The meeting, attended by Defense Minister Israel Katz and senior security officials, discussed potential responses to the attack and the broader security situation in the region.
US President Trump has left open the possibility of joining Saudi strikes against the Houthis, stating that the US will make a decision quickly. The US has also announced a deal to allow Russian diesel imports, which the administration claims will help bring down fuel prices and undercut Iran's efforts to disrupt energy markets.
