Will the European Union become Israel’s naval shield?
A spokesman for the European Union’s foreign policy office says that despite differences of opinion within the EU, consultations on the creation of a “special military mission in the Red Sea” will begin.
In the situation that the formation of the American coalition in the Red Sea did not prevent the support of the Yemeni army from Gaza, the spokesman Josep Burrell announced that the European Union is trying to become Israel’s naval shield.
The spokesperson of the European Union’s foreign policy officer, Peter Stano, announced that this week, negotiations will begin for the establishment of a “military mission” in the Red Sea. According to the spokesman, Josep Burrell, the European Union is coordinating with Washington.
Following Yemen’s attacks on Israeli ships in the Red Sea and other ships bound for occupied Palestine, America announced the formation of a naval coalition; A coalition that some experts have called “Israel’s sea shield”.
While warning the US about the consequences of military presence in the Red Sea, the Yemeni army has announced that it will continue to support the Palestinian people until Israel’s aggression on Gaza stops.
Even though the United States has opposed the request of the world countries for a cease-fire in the Gaza war, Washington Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said on Sunday that the attacks in Yemen have harmed the “interests of more than 40 countries” and called for an international response.
After the formation of the US coalition, some major European countries, including France and Spain, opposed joining it, and others said they would not act under Washington’s command.
Confirming these objections in the European Union, Stano announced that the establishment of a military mission in the Red Sea requires the “consensus” of the member states.
