Tensions in the Middle East have escalated again in recent days, and the conflict between Israel and Hamas has intensified, triggering the involvement and concern of more countries. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly stressed that there will be no ceasefire unless Hamas is eliminated. Against this backdrop, Yemen's Houthi rebels have stepped up their crackdowns on Israeli merchant ships in the Red Sea. The United States then formed a "ten-nation coalition" to "escort" the Red Sea, but Bahrain became the target of criticism from Houthi leader Malik Houthi. This move not only caused discontent among other countries in the Middle East, but also meant that it could trigger greater regional tensions. What does it mean for the United States to form a "ten-nation coalition" to "escort" the Red Sea?Against the backdrop of heightened tensions in the region caused by the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the operation was politically sensitive.
For one, the countries involved in the operation are supporting Israel, which means that they may not be accepted by the countries of the Middle EastSecond, these countries may be "taken care of" by the Houthis and Hamas, and if they bring the war to themselves, they will really lose more than they gain. This action has not only triggered instability in the region, but also put more countries in a dilemma. In his speech, Houthi leader Malik Houthi criticized Bahrain's participation in the actions of the "ten-nation coalition", calling it "the dog of the Americans." Such remarks make one wonder why Bahrain has become the target of criticism from the HouthisBahrain has been cooperating with the "yoke" of the United States and even the Middle East, which has made many Arab countries feel dissatisfied. And now Bahrain has become one of the countries participating in the "10-nation coalition", which undoubtedly sounds the alarm bell for Middle Eastern countries.
In addition, the Houthis' tough shouts show that they are not intimidated and are trying to retaliate. In response, the U.S. actions could cast a thicker shadow over the entire Middle East. It is noteworthy that at least eight countries participated in the operation but refused to disclose their identities, reflecting the political sensitivity of the operation. The countries involved in the operation could face retaliation from the Houthis and Hamas, and could even affect energy exports from the Middle East. In the context of the game between the parties in the Middle East, Bahrain has become a member of the "10-nation coalition", which has not only triggered an escalation of regional tensions, but also put more countries in a dilemma. In the face of this situation, we cannot help but wonder what kind of impact such an action will have on the Middle East regionHow can a larger conflict be avoided?
It is hoped that all parties will be rational and seek a peaceful solution.
