Any chance the houthis are trying to draw in the IDF to soften up their internal opposition?

The Biden Administration at one of its many moments of weakness offered the Houthis recognition as the legitimate government in Yemen should they stop preying on commercial shipping lanes. My understanding is that it was offered and then retracted. So it is my assumption that the Houthis are shooting for "recognition".
