Yemen’s Jews eye exodus after Houthi takeover

A couple of things in the article stood out for me:

Israel-linked organisations have in the past repeatedly helped whisk Jews out of Yemen, but Israeli government officials declined comment on the matter, citing reluctance to endanger Yemen’s Jews by association with Israel.

“There are certainly discussions going on over options available regarding the Yemenite Jews,” said an Israeli official briefed on immigration matters.

But these are individuals who will have to make their own individual decisions about what to do,” the official added.

How ironic that this concern didn’t apply when it comes to Europe’s Jews. But the next tidbit may explain the possible lack of concern by Bibi:

Safety may not be the only concern for the deeply conservative community though, who fear life in Israel or elsewhere will be an affront to their traditional values.

“In Israel, the girls rebel against their fathers, and we fear for our daughters. I could not accept that my daughter might come to me one day and tell me that she was married to her boyfriend,” Rabbi Yahya said.

“This is not permissible in our religion.”

Perhaps deeply conservative Jews from south of the Arabian Peninsula aren’t useful for Bibi’s political ambitions in the following month?
