News - Middle East: A senior official from the so-called Yemeni Presidential Leadership Council, which is backed by Saudi Arabia, has called on Israel for military assistance in combating Ansarullah allied with Yemen's National Salvation Government and its armed forces.

The pro-Saudi official who is said to be affiliated with the so-called Presidential Leadership Council (PLC), an umbrella group of heavily-armed Takfiri militants, made the remarks in a recent interview with Israel Hayom newspaper. 

The unnamed “high-ranking” official urged the occupying entity to provide advanced weaponry to counter escalating operations by the Yemeni army and its allied Ansarullah popular resistance forces, including a hypersonic missile strike on Tel Aviv on Sunday.

Despite attempts by the US and its allies to counter the Yemeni armed forces, the pro-Saudi official dismissed President Joe Biden and his administration's campaign in the Red Sea as “largely ineffective and lacking focus.” 

The pro-Saudi official stressed the importance of overwhelming force, saying: “ It’s high time the global community shakes off its complacency and backs our troops on the ground.”
