Last week, a Houthi missile hit Israeli territory for the first time since the Yemeni rebels began their terrorist campaign against Israel and its Western allies last November. Thankfully, no one was hurt — but the close call is a reminder that the Houthis pose a major threat to American interests in the Middle East and the Red Sea.
The Biden administration has taken a number of positive steps toward mitigating the crisis, but it has failed to make neutralizing the Houthis part of a broader strategy to protect the global order. As a result, these terrorists continue to use their geographically advantageous location on the Arabian Peninsula to wage war against the West. Allowing this problem to fester any further would be a total catastrophe.
