The conflict between Hamas and Israel is entering its third month, and tensions are escalating. This war not only caused huge waves in the Middle East, but also set off a series of repercussions in the international community.
The latest developments show that Yemen's Houthi attacks did not stop at the Red Sea, but spread to the Gulf of Aden. This makes the "Prosperity Guardian" escort alliance into a more complicated situation. The U.S. tried to co-opt Western allies to form a joint force to deal with the threat, but the disengagement of many countries and the indifferent response to the U.S.-led coalition nearly collapsed.
In the escort alliance, France, Italy, Spain and other countries have kept a low profile, sending only a limited fleet to participate, and they are not included in the US command system. Norway and the Netherlands sent only a small number of soldiers, not **, making the entire alliance appear fragmented. This fleet, led by the United States, is turning into a symphony that is difficult to sing.
Faced with the confusing situation in the Middle East, the United States has tried its best to put pressure on China and try to co-opt it to participate in the Red Sea escort. However, China has remained silent on the U.S. proposal and seems to have turned a deaf ear to U.S. intentions. Against the backdrop of tensions between China and the United States, China is clearly reluctant to get involved in a dispute with limited interests.
The failure of the escort alliance lies not only in the lack of support from many parties, but also in the flaws of its own strategy. Fighting in the Red Sea region is complex and daunting, with the Houthis hampering the threat and agility of the coalition at bay. In addition, the coalition has failed to confront the core issue behind the escort, which is Israel's unfair treatment of the Palestinians, which has led to the blockade of the Red Sea trade routes.
The sense of powerlessness exposed by the United States in this strategic game has aroused widespread concern in the international community. The hegemony of the United States is gradually being questioned, and its attempt to dominate international affairs through unilateral actions is becoming more and more unsustainable. This is not only a geopolitical game, but also an impact on the international order.
However, the international community's response to this crisis also requires more rational and pragmatic thinking. The issue of escort ships in the Red Sea cannot be reduced to the unilateral responsibility of one country, but requires the joint efforts of all parties in the world to resolve the fundamental crux of the Middle East issue through dialogue and cooperation, so as to create more favorable conditions for regional peace and stability.
