The Houthis' initiative to attack and intercept ships linked to Israel triggered a joint warning from more than a dozen countries, including the United States, which caused some people to wonder, because Israel did not provoke the Houthis, so why did they take action against Israel? Recently, the BBC interviewed a key member of the Houthis and asked why he was involved in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in Yemen, which is thousands of miles away from Israel. The Houthi response can be summed up for three reasons.
First, the Houthis see Palestinians as "neighbors" and Israel's actions threaten the security of the entire Middle East region, not just Palestine. They ask rhetorically, are Biden and Netanyahu neighbors? Do France** and Netanyayahu live on the same floor? They believe that countries such as the United States, Britain and France can aid Israel in defiance of "distance", so why can't the Houthis, who are also threatened by Israel, come to the aid of the Palestinians?
Second, the Houthis emphasize that they are motivated by humanitarianism and are aimed at thwarting the aggression of Western countries against Palestine, not against Israel. They see themselves as obstructing the "war machine" of Europe and the United States, and opposing sabotage and terrorism in the Middle East. Third, the Houthis tried to explain that the chaos in the Middle East is largely due to the excessive interference of European and American countries, including Israel, the United States, France, the United Kingdom and other countries that have undermined the sovereignty of Syria, Palestine, Iraq and other countries, which has led to chaos in the Middle East.
Therefore, as one of the victims, it is only natural for the Houthis to stand up and stop Israel's attempts to profit from the chaos. The Houthis send a message to the West: If you want to profit in the Middle East, you will have to pay a price. The motivation for this spontaneous attack is, to some extent, extremely practical. Now Israel can invade Palestine with impunity, and tomorrow other countries, even Yemen, could be the next targets. These three points of view have not only left foreign countries speechless, but also forced us to re-recognize the chaotic situation in the Middle East.
The country, which was supposed to be rich in oil resources, has been reduced to "ruins" due to the interference of Western forces. Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, Yemen and many other countries have all gone through the stage of trying not to resist, but the other side has not given up. (Wen Xiaotie).
