Despite the Gaza ceasefire, the Israel–Houthi conflict may resume (John Pollock, Damien Symon – Chatham House)

The ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas announced on 9 October, 2025, has major implications for Middle East security. Among them is how it will affect the conflict between Israel and the Houthi forces that control much of Yemen. Satellite images from Maxar published here for the first time reveal the extent of some of the damage caused by recent Israeli airstrikes on Yemen. Analysis suggests that despite a pause following the Gaza ceasefire agreement, the Israel–Houthi conflict may well resume.
