Over the past three months, the Houthis have attacked merchant ships passing through the Red Sea, an unexpected military intervention aimed at forcing Israel to end its U.S.-backed offensive in Gaza and allow aid into the besieged territory.
With its decision to attack, the Biden administration appears to have opened itself up to a geopolitical checkmate by the Houthis. Escalating the strikes against the rebels will likely bring more shipping disruptions — potentially counterproductive to mitigating economic consequences — and risk a full-blown regional war. Negotiating or submitting to the demands of a nonstate militia group from one of the poorest countries in the world would be seen by many as a U.S. surrender and would boost the Houthis’ newfound popularity.
Why was this downvoted? The intercept is a very reliable source.
I don’t know. I have posted a few articles regarding the Houthis, mostly from Israeli media sources and they always get downvoted. I continue to post them because I think it’s important news and could lead to a widening of the conflict in the region.
Please keep it up. But consider the source. Theres a few good Israeli news orgs, but they’re mostly cowards that are just spreading disinformation
972 is a great outlet
I have used Jpost, Haaratz, and Mondoweiss. All of them are pretty good sources. I think people just don’t wanna hear about the Houthis
Mondoweiss is US American, not Israeli. They’re a great, credible source though.
Don’t use jpost. That’s a trash conservative paper
