Iran and Saudi have been fighting a proxy war in Yemen. Iranian side doesn't trust Jews because, despite officially not having diplomatic relations, it's one of the worst kept secrets on Earth that Israel and Saudi have deep intelligence and security cooperation, aimed especially at mutual enemy Iran. It's assumed by some Houthis (Iranian backed side) that push come to shove any Jews would side with Israeli interests.
Thank you. I’d have to say the Houthis are probably right and this is probably one of the smartest moves they could make.
