Zionists Claim Egypt Poised to Strike Yemen

Israeli sources have claimed that Egypt, under pressure from Tel Aviv, is preparing to launch airstrikes against Yemen’s Ansarullah movement, also known as the Houthis.

Yehoshua Meir Lichter, an Israeli researcher and member of the Dayan Center at Tel Aviv University, stated on social media that there is “classified information” about imminent Egyptian intervention, supported by Israel, to deter the Houthis and halt the decline in Suez Canal revenues. He added that the Egyptian Air Force is planning offensive actions against the Houthis, who have caused significant losses to Egypt.

Mohamed Mahmoud Mehran, an expert in international law, emphasized that Egypt has the right to take necessary measures to protect its national security, pointing out that threats to maritime navigation represent a direct threat to its security. He noted that international law, including Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, grants countries the right to self-defense. He also highlighted that the 1982 Law of the Sea Convention affirms the right of states to protect maritime routes and stressed that any potential Egyptian actions should be proportional to the scale of the threat and in line with international legal principles.

Mehran warned that Israel’s continuous violations in the region are among the main causes of escalating regional tensions, and the international community should act to ensure respect for international law and regional stability.

The Houthis have recently intensified their attacks in the Red Sea, targeting vessels they allege are linked to Israel. They claim these actions are in solidarity with Palestinians.

In response to these developments, there have been discussions in Israeli media about how Israel should address the Houthi threat. Some commentators suggest that Israel needs to take decisive action to deter further attacks and ensure its security.

As of now, there has been no official confirmation from Egyptian authorities regarding the alleged plans to conduct airstrikes in Yemen. The situation remains fluid, and it is unclear how these claims will impact regional dynamics.
