Israel's Planned attack on Yemen Raises International concerns: Where is the path to Peace?

Recently, according to TASS news agency quoted Israeli radio Kan, a senior Israeli official revealed that Israel is considering launching a large-scale attack on Yemen. The news undoubtedly caused an uproar in the international community and once again pushed the complex situation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to the forefront. Back on September 29, the fire in the Yemeni port of Hodeidah after an Israeli air strike still leaves a deep imprint on people's minds. This air raid not only caused heavy casualties and property losses, but also aggravated the instability of the regional situation.

Israel claims that the large-scale attack under consideration is a response to ongoing attacks on Israeli territory by Houthi forces in Yemen. In the past two days alone, two ballistic missiles have reportedly been fired from Yemen into Israel, posing a serious threat to Israel's national security and to the lives and property of its people. Israel's war cabinet said "a more painful signal" must be sent to the Houthis to curb their escalating attacks. However, can this logic of fighting violence with violence and fighting a tooth with a tooth really solve the problem?

First of all, from the perspective of international law, no country has the right to launch military attacks on other countries without authorization. As a member state of the United Nations, Israel should strictly abide by the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations and resolve international disputes and conflicts through peaceful means. Launching a large-scale attack not only violates the basic principles of international law, but also harms the common interests of the international community. Such shortsighted and impulsive actions will only make the situation in the region more complicated and tense, which is not conducive to the realization of peace and stability.

Second, from a humanitarian point of view, a large-scale attack would bring great disaster to the Yemeni people. As a country with a long history of war and economic backwardness, Yemen's people have been suffering from war. If Israel does launch an attack, it will not only cause a large number of casualties and property damage, but also further aggravate the humanitarian crisis in Yemen. Such harm to innocent civilians not only goes against the basic morality and conscience of mankind, but also goes against the universal pursuit of peace and justice by the international community.

Moreover, from the perspective of strategic interests, Israel's attack does not fundamentally solve the threat posed by the Houthis. The reason why the Houthi armed forces frequently attack Israel is that they stand on the side of the Palestinian people in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and try to fight for more rights and interests of the Palestinian people through force. If Israel responds only through military means, it will not be able to eliminate the hostility of the Houthis, but may provoke more resistance and retaliation. In the end, this vicious circle will only make the resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict more distant.

In addition, we should also see that the root cause of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict lies in the territorial disputes and ethnic contradictions between the two countries. These deep-seated problems cannot be solved by simple military means. Only through peaceful negotiations and compromise can a mutually acceptable solution be found. Therefore, the international community should actively encourage Palestine and Israel to return to the negotiating table and resolve differences and disputes through dialogue and consultation. It is not like Israel to resort to force and make the regional situation more volatile.

It is worth noting that the Houthi armed forces in Yemen have not publicly responded to the Israeli threat. This does not mean that they fear or acquiesce in Israel's actions, but that a more sophisticated response strategy may be in the works. In these circumstances, if Israel were to strike hastily, it would be likely to get bogged down in an unpredictable war. This would not only consume a great deal of resources and energy, but could also leave Israel isolated in the international community.

Of course, we must not lose sight of Israel's national security interests. As a country constantly threatened by terrorist attacks and war, Israel has the right and the duty to defend its country and its people. But safeguarding national security does not mean that attacks and wars can be waged without regard for international law and humanitarian principles. On the contrary, Israel should be more active in seeking a peaceful solution and maintaining peace and stability in the region through international cooperation and joint efforts.

In conclusion, the news that Israel is considering launching a large-scale attack on Yemen has aroused widespread concern and concern in the international community. Such behavior is undesirable from multiple perspectives, including international law, humanitarian and strategic interests. We should call on Israel to exercise calm and restraint and resolve the dispute and conflict with the Houthis through peaceful means. At the same time, we should actively promote the international community to strengthen cooperation and coordination and jointly safeguard regional peace and stability. Only in this way can a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict become more hopeful and possible.

In the current international situation, all countries should abandon the outdated Cold War mentality and zero-sum game, and face and handle international affairs with an open, inclusive and cooperative attitude. Only through peace, dialogue and cooperation can we achieve win-win results and common development. Let us look forward to a peaceful, stable and prosperous Middle East.
