The withdrawal of countries from the US naval alliance due to the threat of an alliance with Israel

According to the report of Fars News Agency International Group, the latest sign of the emergence of a new order in the world, this time in the Red Sea. A British media reported today Thursday that American allies have no desire to join the naval coalition led by Washington in the Red Sea to confront Yemen’s Ansarullah. Reuters news agency writes, US President Joe Biden. It was hoped to launch a new naval force to give a decisive international response to the attacks of Yemen’s Houthis (Yemen’s Ansarullah) against ships in the Red Sea, but while a week has passed since the launch of this coalition, many of America’s allies are reluctant to be publicly associated with it.

According to Reuters, two US allies in Europe, namely Italy and Spain, who had previously announced that they would participate in this project, have tried to discredit their names by issuing statements on separate days. They keep away from it.

Pentagon claims that this maritime task force is a coalition of 20 countries to ensure the free passage of 20 billion dollars worth of goods through one of the most important shipping passages in the Red Sea near Yemeni waters.

But almost half of these 20 countries have not stepped forward to confirm their participation in the mentioned coalition and have not allowed America to do so. Participation in this coalition includes a wide range from sending a warship to sending only one agent as a representative. It has narrowed the field for Israeli ships that intend to pass through the Bab al-Mandab strait in the Red Sea.

The Axios news site, close to American and Zionist sources, reported threats and attacks about two weeks ago. In recent days, the Yemeni army has made the journey of Israeli ships longer and more expensive.

Reuters writes that one of the reasons for the reluctance of American allies to join this coalition is the differences between the Western allies over There are conflicts in Gaza. While the international opposition to Israel’s operation in Gaza has intensified, Joe Biden’s government has stubbornly supported Tel Aviv.

This is despite the fact that so far more than 21 thousand people have been killed in Israel’s attacks in Gaza has been martyred and more than 55 thousand people have been injured. At least 30 Palestinians were killed in an attack carried out by Israeli soldiers last night near the “Al Amal” hospital in Khan Yunis, located in the south of Gaza.

David Hernandez, a professor of international relations in one of Madrid universities, noting that the public in European countries are strongly critical of Israel’s attacks, told the news agency: “European governments are very worried that part of the potential voters will rise against them.”

The Red Sea is the entry point for ships that use the Suez Canal. About 12% of the world trade is done through this channel, and for this reason, this channel is of fundamental importance for the transfer of goods between Asia and Europe.

Maersk company, which is one One of the largest container shipping companies announced on Saturday that it will resume shipping activities in the Red Sea. Despite this, the German Hapag Lloyd company announced on Wednesday that it still considers the Red Sea dangerous and will change the routes of its ships to Africa.

Dispute over Gaza

Although the US claimed that 20 countries have joined the naval coalition, so far only 12 have been named. has announced the country. Patrick Ryder, one of the Pentagon’s spokespersons, said last week: “We will let other countries decide about their participation.” Sorekh has declared his support for this coalition and has joined it. However, although countries such as Greece and England have publicly supported the American operation, several countries whose names were included in the joint statement quickly announced that they do not participate directly in this coalition.

The Italian Ministry of Defense announced that it will send a ship to the Red Sea following the request of Italian ship owners, but it is not part of the US coalition. France also announced that it supports efforts to free maritime traffic in the Red Sea, but its ships are under French command. He is against using the EU task force to fight piracy. But on Wednesday, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said he would like to explore the creation of a separate task force to deal with maritime security in the Red Sea.

The UAE and Saudi Arabia have also expressed interest. They do not have to participate in the said coalition. Last week, the Reuters news agency wrote in an analysis that Saudi Arabia does not want to sacrifice reconciliation with Iran to participate in this coalition. Last year, it started a war against the Yemeni Houthis (Ansarullah) and in addition, it depends on the Red Sea ports for 36% of its imports, but Riyadh and its allies in the Persian Gulf countries showed no desire to participate in this coalition.

So far, the American and Israeli officials have not been able to find a solution to deal with the Yemeni army. In its report two weeks ago, the Axios website quoted a senior Israeli official as claiming that Netanyahu’s war cabinet has decided to refrain from military response to the actions of Yemen’s Ansarullah in the Red Sea against Israeli ships for the time being.

The administration of US President Joe Biden has sent messages to Ansarullah through several channels, asking them to stop attacking ships in the Red Sea.

But American officials admit that These warnings have not had an effect on the Houthis (Ansarullah) and they have not reduced the intensity of their attacks.

Analysts say Saudi Arabia and the UAE do not want to be seen as participating countries in a campaign that could hurt their long-term strategy. In addition, such an action will provoke the anger of the countries of the Arab world against them. that they want to avoid escalating tensions with Iran or jeopardizing the peace in Yemen.

Reuters writes that public anger at Israel’s operations can be one of the reasons for the reluctance of the heads of state to join the This coalition knew. In a new survey conducted by the “Yugav” Institute, it was found that the majority of people in Western countries, especially Spaniards and Italians, believe that Israel should end the war in Gaza.

According to this media, Another danger that exists is that participation in the American plan may make the ships of those countries the target of Ansarullah’s revenge.
