From the very beginning of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the Houthi armed forces have stood firmly on the side of Palestine. The Gaza region has been plagued by frequent Israeli air strikes, a series of blockades, and the Houthis have openly declared war on Israel after they could not stand it. Now, the Houthis have escalated their warnings against Israel, and the situation has become so big that the United States has to get involved. However, the Houthis are far more hardened than the United States and Israel think, and in the face of the "declaration of war" by the US military, the Houthis have gathered 100,000 troops, and the battle is about to break out. But before the war begins, I hope that both the United States, Israel and the Houthis will listen to China's opinion.
It is understood that the Houthis are currently blockading the Red Sea for almost a monthThe United States, together with Israel and the 12-nation navy, have not succeeded in breaking the Houthi blockade and have not had a good suppression of the Houthis. This is because the Houthis have escalated their tactics, and they have gathered 100,000 troops to blockade the Red Sea and prepare to cut off Israel's food routes.
In ancient warfare, an army lacking grain and grass was bound to be unable to defeat the opponent's army with sufficient grain and grass. Israel is currently fighting Hamas, fighting the Houthis, fighting Iraqi Shiites, Lebanese Allah, and the daily consumption is huge, so the Houthis want to put pressure on Israel in this way. The urgency of the situation forced the United States to use its influence to organize a maritime coalition to break the blockade of the Houthis.
But the problem is that with the few ships sent by the US military, there is no way to suppress the Houthis. Yemen's drone attacks, coupled with the sneak attacks of unmanned boats, have frequently deflated the maritime coalition forces of the 12 countries, and it takes a lot of energy to defend alone, let alone break the Houthi defense line. In this regard, the United States has also decided to escalate its fight against the Houthis, Biden has recently considered taking more military strikes against the Houthis, and if the Houthis insist on fighting, then the United States will continue to retaliate.
It is widely believed that this is an undeclared war by the United States.
But the Houthis didn't care at all, and still went their own way, using suicide unmanned boats to deal a serious blow to the United States. However, just recently, news came that the Houthis will carry out a more "ambitious" plan, that is, to attack the US-Israel submarine cable.
It is worth mentioning that the submarine cables connecting the countries of the world all intersect here in the Red Sea, so this plan is considered possible by the outside world. But analysts also point out that Yemen is unlikely to be cut off entirely. However, the possibility of a greater impact on the United States cannot be ruled out. After all, communication equipment is an important confidence for the United States to dominate the world, and if the US military does not strengthen the defense of submarine cables, I am afraid that something big will happen.
In this regard, China hopes that the United States, Israel and Yemen will listen to the three sentences.
First of all, the first sentence,The tension in the Red Sea is an extension of the conflict in the Gaza Strip, and it is hoped that the fighting in Gaza will stop and prevent the situation in the Red Sea from further expanding. To put it simply, as long as the conflict in Gaza ends as soon as possible, the situation in the Red Sea will be effectively contained. Therefore, all countries must actively promote the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and stop the war in Gaza.
The second sentence is,The Yemen issue is at a critical juncture, further complicating the already volatile Middle East region, and we call on all countries to remain calm and adhere to dialogue and consultation. The meaning of this sentence is very simple, I hope that Yemen and all parties can be less impulsive, and if there is a peaceful solution, they will not use force.
The third sentence:Ensuring the smooth flow of the Red Sea waters and the safety of ships will contribute to regional peace and stability, so it is important for major powers to exert their influence and play a constructive role in the region.
