The new wave of Palestinian-Israeli war has set off a major storm in the Red Sea region, and the United States and Britain have joined forces to support Israel and launch air strikes against the Houthis in Yemen, but this move has not achieved the desired effect, but has instead made the situation in the Middle East more tense, and the opening of the Red Sea shipping lanes is even more precarious. The United States and Britain used aircraft carriers, submarines and Tomahawk missiles to attack targets in Yemen, and then quickly withdrew without sending an army, showing cowardice and fear. Undeterred, the Houthis have vowed to continue to combat foreign invasions, and their large numbers of drones and anti-ship missiles pose a great danger to the fleets and commercial vessels of the United States and Britain. The United States and Britain claim that they are fulfilling a United Nations resolution calling on the Houthis to end attacks on commercial vessels, but this is just a pretext, after all, it has not been approved by the United Nations, and this will only exacerbate the turmoil and crisis in the Red Sea.
The crisis in the Red Sea is in fact a continuation of the contradictions between Palestine and Israel, with the Houthis attacking Israeli commercial vessels as a result of the suffering caused by the Israeli military offensive in the Gaza region. In order to resolve the Red Sea problem, it is first necessary to fundamentally eliminate the Palestinian-Israeli contradictions, that is, Israel renounces its invasion of the Gaza region and re-establishes peace in the world. However, instead of putting pressure on Israel, the United States has helped Israel by building up naval and air strikes, thus making the situation in the Middle East even more tense. Before the U.S. attack, shipping in the Red Sea was doing well, and the Houthis targeted only Israeli commercial vessels, which claimed no ties to Israel, so they were able to pass through unharmed. Some ships also highlight their ties to China, such as COSCO Steamship, which labeled "Chinese companies" on the Red Sea.
Bloomberg recently reported that it was intended to get China to secretly cooperate with the Houthis, but there is no basis for this claim. China has a vast influence in the Middle East and has established good ties with it. China has always supported the peaceful settlement of the Middle East issue and does not approve of any external intervention. The character and style of the Chinese also make Middle Eastern countries respect and trust China, so Chinese ships can sail safely on the Red Sea. The United States should pay more attention to its own situation, because the situation in the Middle East is precarious, not only facing a counterattack by the Houthis, but also terrorist attacks in Syria and Iraq, there is no place for the Middle East, and the tragedy in Kabul may happen again at any time. The Middle East crisis is not only a great change for the United States, but also a great opportunity for the international community.
