Translated from HebrewSignificant development: The Houthis captured the port of Mocha on the Red Sea Why is the city significant? It is located on Yemen’s southwestern coast, very close to the Bab el-Mandeb Strait (described as a chokepoint), and whoever controls the Port of Mocha and the surrounding coasts can directly influence freedom of international navigation and use force to pressure global powers. From the Saudis’ perspective, this makes it possible to choke their maritime exports: on one side the Strait of Hormuz and Iran, on the other side Bab el-Mandeb and the Houthis
Translated from HebrewIsraeli Defense Minister Israel Katz: “Given the possibility that, due to the economic stranglehold and intense pressure Iran is under, it may decide to take action against Israel, I once again warn the Iranian leadership: Any attack on Israel, for any reason and from anywhere, will be met with a powerful response that will inflict severe damage on Iran—damage it has never suffered before—including strikes on its key energy facilities, which provide resources and capabilities for Iran’s war and terrorism apparatus and for attacks against Israeli civilians. “In accordance with the directives of the prime minister and myself, the IDF is on alert and prepared to carry out the mission. “Such a blow would set Iran back decades and further destabilize the ayatollah regime, which the Iranian people so deeply despise and long to see fall.”

Following questions. A. The publication addresses the question of whether the Biden administration, through its various arms, knew or did not know about a certain Emirati warning: the answer is 'no'. B. Regarding the Emirati warning to Israel: this of course does not prove anything conclusively - but it is reasonable to assume that had there been a clear/serious warning, the Biden administration would have known.
