This is CBS Eye on the World.

Here's John Batchelor.

I welcome Malcolm Holline,

Conference of President's Major American Jewish Organizations

for return from his travels.

And we're going to Jerusalem to our colleague,

Alex Treyman, the CEO of JNS News

Service, as well as the Jerusalem correspondent, Alex, have come right to you with a puzzle these

last days for me. The firing by the Houthis at Shipping in the Red Sea and at Israel has

continued unabated for more than

a year. And yet now we're told after the U.S. Navy launched an air campaign against the Houthis

in Yemen, we're told that the Houthis have bargained with the United States directly. We won't

bomb your shipping and you don't bomb us.

The puzzle here is that's not what the Houthis have represented.

They're a threat to all of the Red Sea traffic worldwide,

and that no one will send their ships through there on the basis of a Houthi remark,

you can't get insurance.

In addition, the Houthis said nothing about trying to kill people in Israel.

So help me with this, Alex.

What kind of deal is this?

Good evening to you.

Good evening, John.
