OR they could be suing for peace specifically *because* they understand that the N/S threats of LH/Houthi missile barrages can really fuck them up in the short term and cause political headaches for Netanyahu should those elements of the regional conflict really heat up and bring the Israeli body count back up to larger numbers. They may be moving to peace as a way of trying to prevent those Israeli casualties from occurring in the first place. Put out the embers before they start fires. Especially if they suspect that the coalition naval defense of the Red Sea may not be there to help their missile defense indefinitely. IF the Houthis stop striking shipping lanes and start focusing more on launching rockets into Israel then a lot of the international necessity to protect maritime shipping across the Red Sea goes away, and so do those the missile defense systems on those coalition warships when they depart as they're no longer needed to protect maritime shipping traffic.
