My understanding is that the Saudi do not participate also because they do not want to be seen as Israel supporters.

Yes, and it was a disaster. The Houthis could aim their missiles at Saudi oil infrastructure again. Much simpler to let America handle both finding a solution and taking the fire.
The parent comment is about the current operation in the Red Sea, which the Saudi do not participate in.

Those are the same conflict though. The saudis are fighting the Houthi’s in the Yemeni civil war. The same group that’s attacking the ships in the Red Sea.
