Recently, the Red Sea has become a new focal point in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. HouthisArmedClaims to prevent ships from Israel and its backing countries from passing through the Red Sea have sparked global tensions. To this end, the US Navy urgently deployed two Burke-class ships to the Red SeaDestroyers, and achieved good results: 36 Houthis were shot down in a rowArmedofDrones。However, this battle is rightU.S. militaryBut it is not easy to come by, and it is facing huge costs. Because of the HouthisArmedusedDronesThe cost is low, not more than $2000 per aircraft, whileU.S. militaryInterception is required with an SM-2 "Standard" anti-aircraft missile worth $2.1 million. Only against 38 aircraftDronesIt cost close to $80 million to intercept it. Such huge attrition forced the United States to hastily form an "escort alliance" in an attempt to use the power of its allies to reduce its own pressure.
Depending on the countryShippingThe company announced that the Red Sea has become a no-sail zone. However, China's COSCO is the only one that can still make it through the Red Sea safelyShippingFirm. Recently, a Chinese cargo ship was named ".Milky WayThe past is even more impressive for 30 years of Hedong and 30 years of changes in Hexi. Recall that 30 years ago, a ship with the same name ".Milky WayChinese merchant ships were unjustifiably seized by the U.S. Navy in the Arabian Sea, and the two sides fought for nearly two months. Now, when the merchant ships of other countries are no longer able to pass through the Red Sea, China's "Milky Way"But it successfully crossed this sea area that was blocked by the West.
HouthisArmedBehind the launch of the "ship raid war" is their continued attack on IsraelMilitaryStrong dissatisfaction with the intervention. HouthisArmedThe senior ** made it clear that they are willing to stop attacking passing ships as long as Israel ceases fire and allows unhindered access of humanitarian supplies to Gaza through Egypt's Rafah crossing. From an objective point of view, this is not an excessive request, and the smooth flow of humanitarian assistance in Gaza is of great concern to all Arab countries, as the Gaza region is facing a serious humanitarian crisis. However, the United States and other countries are clearly biased in favor of Israel, allowing Israel to run amok in Gaza and the HouthiArmedLaunching a "ship raid" became their only effective way to support Hamas.
However, the HouthisArmedofMilitaryThe action was not unplanned. They have ignored pressure from the United States and other countries and have continued to strike Israeli ships and Western merchant ships in the Red Sea. This move not only makes the world's top fiveShippingFour of the companies declared the Red Sea a no-sail zone, and it also had a significant impact on the formation of the "escort alliance". Since merchant ships no longer ventured through the Red Sea, the "convoy alliance" that the United States had so eagerly formed lost its meaning.
The tactics adopted by the United States in dealing with the "ship raid war" in the Red Sea are not wise. If they abandon their policy of favoring Israel, go all out to broker a ceasefire between Palestine and Israel, and resume humanitarian assistance to Gaza, this "ship raid" can be completely ended. However, due to its arrogance, the United States is simply reluctant to engage the HouthisArmedTo negotiate, we had to intercept $2,000 with $2.1 million worth of missilesDrones, and even implicate their own allies.
Looking back at history, similar situations have occurred many times. In diplomatic exchanges, if the United States continues to maintain an arrogant attitude and a policy of taking command without regard for its interests, its influence in the Middle East will become smaller and smaller, and may even disappear. Therefore, it is necessary for the United States to change the way they do things and end this "ship war" by adopting a more flexible policy to seek a ceasefire between Palestine and Israel and to resolve the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
To sum up, the Red Sea "ship raid war" has aggravated the tension in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. The United States formed an "escort coalition" to deal with the HouthisArmedof the attack, but due to the HouthisArmedofDronesThe cost is low, and the cost of confrontation is high, resulting inU.S. militaryThe consumption is too great to last long. And the HouthisArmedThe ship attack reflects their dissatisfaction with Israel's intervention in Gaza and seeks to support Hamas through the "ship raid war". However, the United States and other countries favored Israel and did not effectively resolve the Palestinian-Israeli issue, leading to the HouthisArmedofMilitaryThe action continues. To end this fighting, the United States needs to change its policy and make every effort to broker a ceasefire between Israel and Gaza and resolve the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Only in this way can the Houthis be containedArmedto achieve long-term peace and stability.
