Israel launched airstrikes Tuesday on the Yemeni city of Hodeida as Iranian-backed Houthi rebels activated air defenses, raising new doubts about the chances for a diplomatic resolution. Edmund Fitton-Brown, former British ambassador to Yemen, tells “Morning in America” that reaching a resolution “won’t be straightforward,” despite U.S. efforts toward a ceasefire. He says Hamas has rejected peace and is likely holding on to the remaining hostages as its last piece of leverage.
