Sana'a - Saba:
Leader of the Revolution Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi has issued a strong warning to the Israeli entity to resume naval military operations if the crossings are not opened and aid is not brought into the Gaza Strip within four days.
This threat is not a political pressure card, but rather an indication that Sana'a, which has supported the Palestinian cause for 15 months, will continue direct action using its military capabilities to change the strategic equations in the region, and to triumph for the injustice of the Palestinian people.
The warning came at a sensitive time, as Israel is suffering from a stifling economic crisis due to the ongoing war on Gaza, and the naval strikes carried out by the Yemeni armed forces in the past months.
These strikes forced ships heading to the ports of occupied Palestine to change their routes and avoid passing through the Red Sea, which led to an increase in insurance costs for ships and the reluctance of companies to deal with the ports of the occupation.
The repercussions of this escalation were not limited to transportation and insurance, but also reached the point of weakening the import and export movement, which deepened the inflation crisis inside Israel, as the losses of the Israeli shipping sector exceeded hundreds of millions of dollars, with expectations that this decline will continue if Yemen resumes naval operations, especially after the last warning.
Tel Aviv is in an unprecedented predicament today, as its attempts, with American and Western support, to break the naval blockade imposed by Sanaa have failed. The Western alliance that Washington sought to form to protect Israeli ships did not achieve any tangible results, which made Israel face this threat alone.
The occupation government is under increasing pressure internally, as major economic sectors have begun to express their concern about the continuation of the maritime isolation and its impact on local markets, and some companies have begun to search for commercial alternatives, while economic circles have warned that the continuation of the blockade could lead to a long-term crisis in vital sectors such as energy and heavy industries.
The Yemeni warning represents a strategic shift, as the Israeli occupation is now forced to deal with Sanaa as an influential force in the conflict equations, and Yemeni naval operations have become at the top of the Israeli national security agenda, which was confirmed by Israeli military officials that the threat coming from Yemen is extremely difficult to deal with.
These developments show that Yemen has succeeded in imposing a new deterrence equation, as it targeted the joints of the Israeli economy instead of being satisfied with direct military confrontations, which has put Tel Aviv in front of unprecedented challenges that directly threaten its trade and economic security.
The Yemeni escalation represents part of a long-term strategy aimed at changing the balance of power in the region, as Sanaa did not stop at supporting the Palestinian resistance, but rather moved to the stage of actually influencing the course of the conflict, which made it a major player in the regional deterrence equation.
The Israeli enemy entity is today facing a difficult test, either to open the crossings, or to bear the consequences of an escalation that may reach unprecedented levels, and the coming days will be decisive, and just as Sana'a imposed its will previously, it will prove in the coming days that the balance of power in the region has indeed changed.
Whatever the Israeli reaction, the clear truth is that Yemen has today become an influential regional power, capable of directing strategic strikes that redraw the map of the conflict, and what comes after this warning will not be the same as what came before it.
