After the latest Houthi missile launch at Israel, US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee writes, “Maybe those B2 bombers need to visit Yemen!”
Huckabee has stated in the past that he doesn’t seek to set policy for the Trump administration, but rather aims to implement whatever the president decides.
Trump reached an agreement with the Houthis last month whereby the US agreed to halt its attacks against the Yemeni rebel group in exchange for an end to the latter’s targeting of American vessels.
The US used B-2 bombers to carry out strikes early last week against several targets in Iran.
