When the Houthi group began its military operations in the southern Red Sea region on the international shipping line by targeting commercial ships, hitting some of them, and besieging others, the group was aware that, as in all of its history, it was carrying out actions that constitute a violation of international law and contradicted the Charter of the United Nations and various international conventions and treaties regarding trade and navigation through state waters, all under the pretext of supporting the Palestinian resistance and confronting the Israeli aggression and its crimes against the Palestinians.
The Houthis know that with their acts of piracy they do not serve the Palestinian resistance in any way and do not harm the Zionist entity in any way, but through their foolishness or what they consider to be courage, which has nothing to do with courage, they expose the southern Red Sea region and the entire region to countless dangers, and they offer a free transit pass for Israel and its allies to dominate international trade routes in the region.
With their terrorist acts, the Houthis serve the Zionist media in terms of their portrayal of the world that only terrorists stand in solidarity with the Palestinians, and in doing so they prove the Zionist propaganda that the Palestinian resistance is a terrorist movement.
What the Houthis are practicing is blatant and open piracy and a terrorist act par excellence, in addition to being a suicidal adventure that does not affect them alone, but rather drags with it all the countries overlooking the Red Sea, including Yemen, to undesirable consequences, it is no different from what Iran practices in the Arabian Gulf region and the Strait of Hormuz, whenever it wants to send political messages to blackmail international powers and global centers of influence.
We say that it is a terrorist act for several reasons; first, it is taking place in the international waters area, and second, it targets ships and tankers that are not military, and Israel often has nothing to do with it. As for the excuse of supporting the Palestinian resistance, it is just an open lie because these actions, as we said, neither advance nor delay anything that is planned. The leaders of Israel are targeting to uproot the Palestinian people from their land, and only the desperate Palestinian struggle, which expresses the Palestinian people’s clinging to their land, their history, and their Arab-Palestinian identity, will fail these satanic efforts, and not the childish actions with which the Houthis, and behind them Iran, believe that they have kidnapped the hearts of advocates of truth and supporters of the truth while they are practicing against their own people what the Zionist state is practicing against the Palestinians.
Unfortunately, some Palestinian forces are deceived by these childish movements without knowing that the Houthis are serving Israel and its allies from where they do not know, and perhaps they know.
