After the outbreak of the current round of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, Israel and the United States have been subjected to tremendous pressure. The United Nations and Middle Eastern countries have demanded an immediate ceasefire in Israel, and even the people of some Western countries have begun to take to the streets to oppose Israel's atrocities in Gaza and the United States' connivance with Israel. Not long ago, armed groups in the Middle East launched an attack on the Red Sea in an attempt to block Israel's sea transport routes. At this time, the United States could not sit still and pulled ten countries to form a team and headed for the Red Sea.

According to the global network, recently, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin announced in Bahrain that the United States is forming a new multinational force with the aim of protecting passing ships in the Red Sea from the threat of missile and rocket attacks. Austin said 10 countries, including the United Kingdom, France and Canada, will join. Not long ago, a number of ships were attacked by Houthi drones in the Red Sea, and a number of international shipping companies announced that they would suspend navigation in the Red Sea. It is clear that the Houthis want to "blockade" Israel and cut off its "maritime lifeline". According to previous reports, immediately after the incident, the Israeli side called on the United States and demanded that the United States and the international community "take care of it."

So, whether it is the Palestinian-Israeli conflict or the current formation of a joint escort force, why does the United States "have to save it"?There are two main reasons. The first is the "alliance" between the United States and Israel, which means that if Israel is in trouble, the United States will be in trouble. For a long time, Israel has purchased advanced equipment from the United States, and the two sides have also launched long-term cooperation in the military field. The United States made money, and Israel received advanced defense technology and equipment. In addition, the two sides also shared that Israel is more like an "intelligence eye" planted by the United States in the Middle East, helping the United States keep an eye on the movements in the Middle East and safeguard US interests in the Middle East.

Secondly, for historical reasons, the Israelis once fled everywhere, and a considerable number of Jews fled to the United States, and gradually, these Jewish immigrants made great contributions to the development of the economy, science and technology and culture of the United States, and the Jews gradually "integrated" into the upper class of American society. It has gradually grasped the political and diplomatic discourse of the United States, especially in the political field, and has had a great impact. In order not to harm the Jewish community, the United States will always unconditionally and recklessly support the Jews and protect their interests. Therefore, the United States cannot abandon Israel, which is why the United States would rather bear the stigma than support Israel.

In the matter of counterattacking the Houthis, Israel thinks very simply, that is, it wants the United States to "come out" for it and directly solve it by force. At first, the United States did not want to intervene so quickly. For this reason, the United States also wants to persuade Saudi Arabia to come forward to mediate, and it is also secretly talking with the Houthis, but the Saudi side sees through it at a glance and is not fooled by the United States at all, so it resolutely refuses. Under such circumstances, the United States and the West have no choice but to personally intervene to solve the problem. According to the American side, the participating countries of the joint force have different divisions of labor, some provide intelligence support in the rear, and others are on the Red Sea front, intercepting or launching strikes against Houthi attacks. It can be seen from this that the United States is "inseparable" from Israel, an ally, and has mustered all its strength to support it, so it cannot count on the United States at all to end the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

The Houthis also expressed their stance on the actions of the United States. Members of the armed group's Politburo have stated that the Houthis will retaliate against all U.S. actions against Yemen. This means that the situation in the Middle East will deteriorate further, and if a head-on clash breaks out between the US-led coalition and the Houthis, the situation in the Middle East will spiral out of control. What can be found now is that the United States does not want to engage in another war in the Middle East, and if it can deter and resolve it, it will not make much of a move.
