Yemen ceasefire: The impact of the Yemeni resistance’s strength on Trump’s illusions.
Trump’s statement last evening that the US would halt its attacks on Yemen within the framework of a ceasefire agreement reached through indirect negotiations may have come as a surprise to many, including the Zionists; but given the erosive and fruitless attacks by the US coalition against Yemen over the past two months, Washington’s withdrawal from these attacks was predictable.
America’s Repetitive Quagmire in Yemen with Illusions and Miscalculations
Yemen was the second front of the Resistance Axis to directly enter the battle to support Gaza after Lebanon’s Hezbollah, and it only stopped its operations during the temporary ceasefire in Gaza, and after the Zionist regime began its cruel siege of this strip last March, the naval blockade of Yemen and its operations against the Zionists were resumed.
Following the widespread impact that the naval blockade of Yemen against the Zionist regime had on the regime’s economy, which had effectively closed the port of Eilat, and also in the shadow of the missile and drone attacks by the Yemenis that robbed the Zionists of sleep and forced them to flee to shelter at all hours of the day and night, the US coalition, which at this stage consisted solely of this country and the UK, launched a new wave of attacks against Yemen to support the Zionist regime and its crimes.
These attacks began on March 15, during which the US, under the name of Operation “Rough Rider”, carried out more than a thousand attacks on civilian areas in Yemen, which it had bombed many times before, and in these brutal attacks, hundreds of Yemeni civilians were martyred and hundreds more were injured.
The relentless attacks by the US and the UK against Yemen, which did not even spare African immigrants and massacred dozens of them, were aimed at pressuring Yemen to withdraw from its honorable position in supporting the Gaza Strip and end the naval blockade against the Zionist regime and its operations against this regime. However, the American calculations regarding Yemen proved wrong; Yemen not only did not back down, but in addition to the naval blockade, it also added an air blockade against Israel.
The Yemenis, whether at the level of the nation, the leadership, the government, and the army, have adopted a completely distinct position in support of Gaza compared to other Arab countries; where they are all unitedly based on loyalty to their pledge to help the Palestinians, and this unity and independence in decision-making has given them the strength to remain in the field as the only Arab actor who supports Gaza with one voice.
