"US and UK Launch Joint Strikes on Houthi Targets in Yemen"
The United States and Britain conducted large-scale military strikes against 18 Houthi targets in Yemen, aiming to degrade the militants' ability to attack ships in critical sea lanes. The strikes were supported by Australia, Bahrain, Canada, Denmark, the Netherlands, and New Zealand. Meanwhile, in Israel, clashes erupted between police and protesters calling for the ousting of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the return of hostages held in Gaza. Additionally, the Biden administration's reversal on considering new Jewish settlements on the West Bank as "inconsistent with international law" has sparked political tensions ahead of the Democratic primary in Michigan.
