🛡️ ISRAEL ENFORCES SECURITY RED LINES IN GAZA AND LEBANON AS HOUTHIS FEAR RENEWED U.S. STRIKES, IRANIAN FUNDING WEAKENS, AND CZECH REPUBLIC VOWS TO BLOCK EU SANCTIONS AGAINST ISRAEL
⚠️ HOUTHI FUNDING / FEAR OF U.S. STRIKES: A source close to the Houthis claimed Iran has stopped funding the group over the past six months.
According to the source, the Houthis see no reason to continue helping Iran without financial support and are deeply concerned about another large-scale U.S. strike in Yemen.
The source said Houthi officials believe that if the Americans strike again, “they will finish the job”.
The Houthis also reportedly fear Saudi Arabia could join a coordinated attack against them.
According to the source, the agreement with President Trump is viewed by the Houthis as a protective shield giving them breathing room, while fear of the United States and reduced Iranian funding are shaping Houthi behavior toward Israel.
❌ AHMADINEJAD REPORT: The New York Times reported that the U.S. and Israel explored a scenario in which former Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad could emerge as a replacement figure following the killing of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei during the war.

🇮🇱🇨🇿 ISRAEL / CZECH REPUBLIC / EU SANCTIONS: Czech Foreign Minister Petr Machinka announced that the Czech Republic will oppose additional European Union sanctions against Israel, even if Prague must block them alone. He said the Czech government will not support trade sanctions or any suspension of Israel’s EU association agreement, and will work to build coalitions inside the EU to prevent further anti-Israel measures.
The remarks came during a joint press conference in Prague with Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar. Sa’ar accused several left-wing European governments of pushing the EU toward a “radical anti-Israel approach,” warning that such policies damage relations with “the only democracy in the Middle East.”
The statements highlight the Czech Republic’s position as one of Israel’s strongest supporters within the European Union amid growing political pressure from some European governments.
