BOMBSHELL Dropped By The Houthis Sends Israel Into PANIC!

Right, so as it appears that the ceasefire is about to collapse between Israel and Hamas, that isn’t the only thing about to come to an end, because, in complete line with this ceasefire, the Houthis of Yemen very much downed tools, released vessels and crews in their custody, allowed normal service to resume in the Red Sea without any interruption and there were no more nightly air raid sirens going off across Israel as they took action in solidarity with the Palestinian people.
Well, they’re gearing up again, with a warning that if Israel resume their atrocities in Gaza, they will resume their offensives against the blue and white state, that shipping traffic will once again face interruption in the Red Sea, that they hold Trump responsible in no uncertain terms for this and that whilst Israel might be talking of all new tactics being deployed in Gaza, The Houthis by the sounds of it, haven’t spent the last several weeks twiddling their thumbs on that score either.
Right, so the Ansar Allah movement in Yemen, better known as the Houthis are gearing up to resume their support for Gaza should Israel collapse the ceasefire deal following the suspension of hostage releases by Hamas as a consequence of Netanyahu refusing to engage properly with negotiations over the second phase of the Gaza ceasefire deal, Netanyahu obviously we know, or should by now cannot agree to this, his government will be collapsed by his far right coalition partners if he does, it was never on the cards really that phase 2 stood a chance because Netanyahu will always put himself first before hostages, before peace, before everything. As such the Houthis have made their intentions abundantly clear as delivered in a series of statements of intent by their leader Abdul Malik Al-Houthi:
‘"We are ready for military intervention in the event of any Israeli escalation against Gaza.”
"We will stand by the Lebanese people if the occupation decides to escalate.”
"US madness through the plan to displace the people of Gaza has put the Arab countries in a critical position.”
"In the current circumstances, the Arab position must be strong and firm in rejecting the US project.”
"This is an opportunity for Arab countries to say no to the US and get out of the US house of obedience.”
"The Arab position on the displacement of Palestinians must be firm, serious and strong.”
"The current stage must be a stage of Arab and Islamic unity in the face of US arrogance.”
"Arab unity will thwart the US approach towards Gaza.”
"We affirm the principle of supporting the Palestinian people militarily, politically and in the media.”’
So we’ve got numerous different things to talk about there between that statement and what it contains and other fears that have been discussed as well.
Let’s start with Red Sea shipping, it is where the Houthis started in all of this after all.
Wit the Houthis having downed tools so to speak and ceased their interference in shipping since the Gaza ceasefire began and for as long as it has held, you would imagine matters will have gone back to normal, but even with the Houthis not firing missiles and drones, that has not been the case because the shipping companies have openly stated that they felt no more secure during the course of this ceasefire to resume movement through the Red Sea than they did before, point of fact being, they didn’t trust the ceasefire to hold, but also that wood-stained weapon of mass idiocy occupying the White House, Donald Trump said he wanted to take over Gaza, which is a red rag to a bull for the entire Middle East. As far as shipping goes though, the companies deemed it inevitable that the Houthis would again resume attacks, so why should they change tactics now when it’s bound to all fall apart? Donald Trump has effectively done the Houthis job for them here as far as disrupting shipping goes, shipping through the Red Sea has, since the ceasefire came in, risen by just 4 %:
‘Jan Rindbo, chief executive of commodities shipping group Norden, told FT that Trump’s plan added “to this picture of turmoil and tension in the Middle East, and that could prolong the Red Sea issue.”…
Lars Jensen, CEO of Vespucci Maritime – which provides advisory services to shipowners and traders – claimed, “A week ago, there was a light at the end of the tunnel,” but now “the likelihood of a return to the Red Sea is reduced.”
“Going back through Suez is such a complex process that we have to make sure we don’t go back for just a few months. Customers don’t want a flip-flop,” stated Vincent Clerc, chief executive of the Danish container shipping group AP Moller-Maersk.
“As long as there is doubt about how things will look a few weeks down the road, we will wait,” Clerc added.’
So shipping remains disrupted without the Houthis lifting a finger.
On the matter of Trump buying Gaza though, well, the Houthis have resorted to name calling and again it is Abdul Malik al-Houthi spelling it out in one of his televised statements:
‘When Trump said he will buy Gaza – from whom? From the people of Gaza? Who is like the people of Gaza?
From patriotism, freedom, honour, pride, steadfastness, obedience and sacrifice?
They are the ones who stood firm and held onto their rights for 15 months in the light of what they are suffering from, the mass destruction, the total destruction and aggression that we do not see in the whole world.
Do you imagine, you stupid fool, that those honourable people, after all this steadfastness, which is incomparable and the great sacrifice, will sell you their homeland? From whom will you buy Gaza? Ignorant fool, stupid fool, a merchant in everything and he imagines that others will equal him in everything.’
Seems like he’s got the measure of Trump there doesn’t it?
Beyond the Red Sea however, there is the matter of the return to attacks on Israel and one interesting comment Al-Houthi made referred to Lebanon. Now prior to the ceasefire, the Houthis combined drone and missile strikes were successfully reaching ever further north, as far as Haifa in fact at their furthest, which, when I wrote about that I mused that they were almost within reach of the Lebanese border, so is that comment by Al-Houthi, a comment that can easily be overlooked a reference to them believing they can now reach Lebanon and the Israeli forces who have already been granted on extension until the 18th of this month to leave and have now it is being reported to day, won themselves another 10 days. Can and the Houthis reach them in Southern Lebanon and will they? Seems they’re keeping the option open.
Aside from that of course, and amid presumed resumption of attacks in Gaza, Al-Houthis has spoken of the West bank too, though they didn’t raise arms against Israel as the likes of Jenin and Tulkarem have been assaulted, is that going to change? Was that done for the sake of those in Gaza?
All of this must now be weighed up though in light of breaking news that the ceasefire may hold a little longer, Hamas now having said the planned hostage exchange they held up earlier this week, planned to go ahead on Saturday – held up in light of Netanyahu’s refusal to engage meaningfully in the phase 2 ceasefire talks – will now go ahead as planned. This is already blowing up in Netanyahu’s face not just because it now puts the onus for ending the ceasefire back on him and Trump, but also as the right wing of his coalition government blame him for holding matters up already and not pressing the read button the ceasefire before now as according to them, he has squandered the opportunity Trump gave him. Such is the problem Netanyahu has, nothing but the end of the ceasefire will be good enough for people like this and to keep himself in post, depending on how hard he is leant on now, he may have to end matters on Saturday regardless of Hamas having backed down. He will be solely responsible for the end of the ceasefire in which case, it will all be on him and the responses that come, from the Houthis and the rest of the world Israel will have to face up to. I question whether his coalition government is strong enough to see the ceasefire continue past Saturday, it would in point of fact only be delaying the inevitable, with phase 1 due to end in a couple weeks and no phase 2 being agreeable that keeps Netanyahu in power. What do you reckon? Will Netanyahu end it this week or wait and is there any point to that? One thing is for sure, the Houthis won’t hang around once the ceasefire falls of that I am sure.
Another state that has apparently got a plan to deal with Trump’s delusions about buying Gaza is Iran, a story getting next to no coverage as you won’t be surprised to hear, but they think they’ve got the measure of him, so check out the details of that story in this video recommendation here as your suggested next watch to learn all about that, please do also hit like, share and subscribe to the channel before you do so though, so as to ensure you don’t miss out on all new daily content, whilst also supporting the channel which is very much appreciated and I’ll hopefully catch you on the next vid.
