Europe EditionTrump’s First Yemen Ceasefire Leaves Israel Alone Against The Houthis
- On May 6, 2025, US President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire deal with Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels from the Oval Office, shortly after Israeli strikes on Yemen's airport.
- The agreement involved the US stopping its military actions against the Houthis, while the rebels agreed to cease attacks on American vessels; however, Israel was not notified beforehand, and the Houthis committed to continuing their assaults on Israel.

- The ceasefire sidelined Israel's security concerns, reflecting broader US prioritization of 'America First,' and raised questions about future Israeli-American coordination and regional implications.
