U.S. President Donald Trump addressed his upcoming Middle East visit, saying 'We are not planning to stop in Israel, we will visit there at some point, but not during this visit.' During Steve Vicktoff's swearing-in ceremony regarding the Houthis in Yemen, he stated: 'They don't want any connection with us, and they've made that very clear through all their messengers. If anything happens between Israel and the Houthis, then I'll talk about it.'
