The United States has finally found a reason to further intervene in the Palestinian-Israeli situation, and is actively forming a multinational coalition to carry out escort operations.
Recently, a number of merchant ships in the Red Sea waters were attacked by Yemen's Houthi rebels, the Red Sea has one of the world's busiest routes, in order to avoid the impact of war, a number of international shipping companies have announced the suspension of navigation in the Red Sea. On the 18th local time, U.S. Secretary of Defense Austin announced that a multinational maritime coalition had been formed to deter the Houthis and protect transit ships.
The escort list announced by the US side includes the United States, Britain, Bahrain, Canada, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Seychelles and Spain, a total of 10 countries.
The bodyguard lost his employer, and the United States was bored with it, and could have gone home, but the United States didn't do it. At the beginning of the current round of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, Western countries were still very firmly standing with Israel, but with the prolongation of the war and Israel's actions that exceeded the bottom line again and again, the attitude of Western countries towards Israel has also changed. Regardless of the fact that seven of the ten countries are European, Spain has already said that it will not participate in the escort, and the Netherlands, Canada and Norway have also indicated that they will only send a few staff officers.
With the Houthis launching frequent missile and drone attacks on Israel on the pretext of "supporting Palestine" and successive attacks on "Israeli-related" ships in the Red Sea, the United States has finally found a reason to continue to take root in the Palestinian-Israeli issue. And none of the major Middle Eastern powers have joined this escort because they all know that the essence of this operation is to support the continuation of the war between Palestine and Israel, and to support Israel.
European countries are not interested, the Middle Eastern powers are not fooled, and the United States has one country in mind, and that is China. China is the only country in the world that has always maintained objectivity, neutrality and impartiality in international disputes, and is still a major country with considerable influence. The United States has dubbed the Red Sea operation a "just war" and a "war to defend," and if it wants to hang the cross of justice firmly on its head, it can only get China's support.
As a result, the United States wanted to "tie" China to the thief ship of the United States under the pretext that the waters of the Red Sea had been attacked and the global ** chain had suffered a serious blow. A few days ago, U.S. spokesman Robert Miller expressed the hope that China can play a constructive role in preventing attacks on international shipping in the Red Sea waters.
In response to this incident, China's spokesman Wang Wenbin made clear China's position on maintaining the security of international waterways and opposing attacks on civilian vessels, and affirmed the importance of maintaining the security and stability of the Red Sea waters, but did not agree to join the United States' actions.
