US defence chief on the way to Middle East
Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin is headed to the Middle East where he will meet with Bahrain on “US efforts to convene multilateral coalitions to respond to aggression at sea that threatens shipping and the global economy”, a statement says.
Yemen’s Houthi rebels have launched a series of drone and missile strikes on vessels near the strategic Bab el-Mandab Strait at the southern tip of the Red Sea, saying they are pressuring Israel over its devastating war.
In Israel, Austin will highlight the US’s steadfast support of its ally but also “discuss steps Israel is taking to mitigate civilian harm”, it said. He is to meet Israeli military leaders on “the next steps in the conflict after an eventual cessation of high-intensity ground operations and air strikes”.
