Ford School professor Javed Ali commented on the Israeli strikes against the Houthis in Yemen. He said, "Israel hasn't confronted anything like this going back like 50 years, this is a multi front that is opening up." Ali then said, "I would have to think the Biden administration is deeply concerned" about where these campaigns are going.
