Yemeni Official Warns US-UK Aggression Risks Regional Instability

On Feb 6, 2024

Member of the National Delegation, Abdulmalik Al-Ejri, affirmed Monday, that whenever the US escalates its aggression against the Yemeni people, it risks dragging the region into the worse consequences.

Abdulmalik Al-Ejri said in a post on “X”: “The US administration should now consider that the more it goes further in its aggression against Yemen, the more it risks dragging the region into the unknown, opening up new battles with an uncertain future, and no one can guarantee how it will end.”

Al-Ejri emphasized that the escalation of the United States in its aggressive operations in Yemen is meaningless, but it is determined to support the continuation of the aggressive war on Gaza.

The member of the National Delegation explained that American talk about a ceasefire and an imminent breakthrough in the Gaza issue, and its statements about not wanting to escalate the conflict, are merely attempts to throw dust in the eyes.

The US and UK have been conducting strikes against Yemen in response to Yemeni forces’ attacks on Israeli-owned ships or vessels heading to occupied territories.

Yemenis have declared their open support for Palestine’s struggle against the Israeli occupation since the regime launched a devastating war on Gaza on October 7 after the territory’s Palestinian resistance movements carried out a surprise retaliatory attack, dubbed Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, against the occupying entity.

Yemeni Armed Forces have said that they won’t stop their attacks until unrelenting Israeli ground and aerial offensives in Gaza, which have killed at least 27,365 people and wounded another 66,630 individuals, come to an end.

Sayyed Abdulmalik al-Houthi has said that it is “a great honor and blessing to be confronting America directly.”

The attacks have forced some of the world’s biggest shipping and oil companies to suspend transit through one of the world’s most important maritime trade routes. Tankers are instead adding thousands of miles to international shipping routes by sailing around the continent of Africa rather than going through the Suez Canal.
