The House of Representatives voted to block the passage of a bill that would have ended U.S. military support for the Saudi-led coalition fighting Houthi rebels in Yemen.
The conflict pits the Yemeni government, powered by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, against rebels known as the Houthis, that are aligned with Iran.
The U.S. has provided military support for the Saudis and Emiratis since the Obama administration, the Saudis announced that the U.S. will no longer provide midair refueling for their aircraft. The coalition has been accused of war crimes for indiscriminately targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure.
The Pentagon said it provides refueling for only 20 percent of coalition warplanes, and the U.S. continues to provide other support, such as intelligence, reconnaissance and arms sales.
So with all this bombing on a small group, what is the goal?
