Marom emphasized that the Houthis should not be underestimated, as they are a highly dangerous terrorist organization that Israel has encountered in the past.
Marom voiced his disappointment with the Israeli media's lackadaisical approach towards the Houthis, stating, "The Israeli media and leadership have treated the Houthis as insignificant. This misconception has become a thorn in our side. We have dealt with the Houthis before and know how to combat them effectively."
Highlighting the media's misguided coverage, Marom spoke critically about an incident involving a rocket or missile supposedly launched by the Houthis which the Israeli media treated as a "joke." He asserted that this trivialization of the threat posed by the Houthis was concerning.
In addition, Marom shed light on Iran's vested interest in the ongoing war: "Iran's goal is simple – to secure a ceasefire, bring an end to the conflict, and ensure that Israel, portrayed as the regional power in the Middle East, suffers a humiliating defeat. This outcome would undoubtedly impact the agreement with Saudi Arabia." READ MORE
