Yemen Airstrikes Make The US Rethink A Few Things

The United Nations estimates that at least 82 people died from an airstrike on a funeral gathering in Sanaa, Yemen on Saturday. The attack was allegedly from Saudi-led warplanes, creating some awkwardness for the Western countries backing Saudi Arabia’s campaign against Yemen’s Houthis. The White House, eager to remove itself from civilian casualties but not so eager to further strain its relationship with Saudi Arabia, announced its “immediate review” of US support for the 18-month-long military push against the Houthis, a strategy that has long been criticized for frequent civilian deaths, estimated at 3,800 people.
