A few days ago, the U.S. Navy issued an announcement announcing that the CVN69 USS Eisenhower aircraft carrier had ended its deployment mission in the Red Sea, and thus entered the Mediterranean Sea as an activity. The departure of the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier from the Red Sea is quite temporal to end the Red Sea escort, but now it seems that the U.S. Navy is a false statement, because its support for Israel has been consistent. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu publicly threatened on April 30 that Israel's plans for an offensive against Rafah in the Gaza Strip would not be changed, regardless of the outcome of negotiations with the Palestinians. Israel is in a rhythm to fight against the whole world, because the international community is opposed to Israel's ground military action against Rafah.
Just after Israel's public threats, the United States and Britain have already taken action, according to foreign media reports, the United States and Britain launched an attack on Yemen's Hodeidah region on April 30. Hodeidah is an area controlled by Yemen's Houthi rebels, an important port city in Yemen, through which international assistance to Yemen is basically transited. During the Yemeni civil war, Hodeidah was the city where the anti-Houthi forces went all out, but eventually abandoned the offensive against Hodeidah because of the heavy losses of the anti-Houthi forces. In fact, the anti-Houthi coalition is not a military force within Yemen, but a multinational force organized by Saudi Arabia, with members from the GCC.
Judging by the information released by the US Central Command, the United States and Britain struck the ships of the Houthis in Hodeidah on April 30. This is not the first time that the United States and the United Kingdom have carried out air strikes on targets in Yemen, having previously carried out air strikes on Yemen with fighter jets. During its time in the Red Sea, the USS Eisenhower aircraft carrier CVN69 used F/A-18E/F fighter jets to carry precision-guided weapons to strike targets in Yemen, as well as intercept drones and cruise missiles launched by the Houthis. Although the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier has left the Red Sea, the U.S. Air Force still has fighter jets deployed in the Middle East, so it still has the ability to strike Yemen.
Britain does not deploy fighter jets in the Middle East, but it can launch air strikes against Yemen from bases in Cyprus, and Britain has previously dispatched Typhoon fighter jets to cooperate with US military air strikes against the Houthis. At a time when the United States was actively maintaining its hegemonic position, Britain was willing to serve the United States. In fact, Britain has not only joined the Houthi strikes, but has also used fighter jets to intercept drones and cruise missiles dropped by Iran, which has previously retaliated against Israel and the United States, Britain, France and Jordan have all been involved in military operations to protect Israel.
The U.S. and British airstrikes on Yemen have reassured Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the U.S. continues to support Israel's military operations in the Gaza Strip. The blockade of the Red Sea by the Houthis in Yemen is to force Israel to stop its military operations in Gaza, which is a strategy to support the Palestinians, and the United States and Britain are acting for Israel. Obviously, there is a basis for Israel's public threat on April 30, Israel and the United States have communicated very well, Netanyahu has had many phone calls with Biden, and at the same time the recent visit of US Secretary of State Antony Blinken in the Middle East, so Israel has a very clear understanding of the US strategy.
