The real problem in the Middle East

This war is not about eradicating the terrorist Hamas group and other Palestinian organizations only, but rather to eradicate all militias from the Middle East, because the spread of these militias tempts others to copy their models.

 

The world did not need the terrorist Houthi group to launch missiles and drones from Yemen towards Israel, in order to recognize the danger of terrorist militias and the chaos and unrest caused by this disastrous phenomenon, of which what is happening in Gaza is one of its manifestations and repercussions.

The intervention of the terrorist Houthi militia in the conflict between Israel and the terrorist Hamas movement is a pre-planned plan to spread chaos, expand the scope of the war, and end all attempts to enhance security and stability and achieve peace in the region.

The Houthis realize that their missiles and drones are unable to reach their targets in Israel, whether for operational reasons or in light of the density of missile defense walls deployed by Israel and the United States in anticipation of this expected behavior, and therefore the issue is only a symbolic step to lure other parties and inflame the feelings of the Arab and Islamic peoples against Their countries, leaders and governments.

We say it frankly: what is happening on the part of the Lebanese "Hezbollah" or the Yemeni "Houthi" militia is not support for the Palestinians in any way, as there is elaborate Iranian planning that is being meticulously implemented by the loyal terrorist agents and arms.  To ignite the situation in the Middle East in anticipation of the expansion of peace agreements between Israel and its Arab neighbors.

With all that this means, there is a certain regional isolation for the Iranian expansionist project, which no longer attracts except its clients from the militias, movements, and sectarian organizations that trade in the blood and issues of their people, whether in Lebanon, Yemen, or the Palestinian territories.

The behavior of the "Houthi" militia, as well as the Lebanese "Hezbollah", represents a shuffling of cards in the Middle East. Everyone is aware of the dangers of these two terrorist militias interfering in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, and turning a just and legitimate political and human rights issue into a religious war that no one in the Middle East wants. The conflict With Israel, it is not religious as Iran and its allies want it to be, but Iran is pushing the region and the world into a religious conflict for which everyone will pay a price in terms of their security and stability.

Iran used the terrorist Hezbollah in Syria and is now using it in the ongoing conflict with Israel, not in support of the terrorist Hamas movement or the Palestinians as it promotes and claims, but rather within the framework of its bilateral struggle for influence with Israel and the United States.

It is a conflict that has nothing to do with Palestinian rights, which are being falsely exploited in this conflict in order to attract the sympathy of the Arab and Islamic peoples.

As for the Yemeni "Houthi" militia, it destroyed the Yemeni state, and now it is its turn to spread chaos and terrorism regionally.

We say it frankly that the world has been silent about the behavior of these terrorist militias, whose threat is not limited to Israel, but also threatens the security of several Arab countries, where Houthi missiles have already fallen on their lands after being destroyed in the air by Israeli and American air defenses in the Red Sea.

The intervention of pro-Iranian terrorist militias, whether we mean "Houthis" or "Hezbollah," in the Gaza conflict aims to achieve a vital Iranian goal, which is to expand the scope of the fighting and attempt to involve other regional parties in this conflict, as it is difficult to be certain that the conflict will remain in a narrow circle in light of the presence of clashes. Multilateralism in the regional environment.

Controlling this matter is an issue with uncertain consequences, whether in light of the ongoing shuffling of cards, or in light of expected attempts to lure others through tightly planned military operations, or because of the effects of the expanding scope of the conflict and the necessity of some parties to intervene to protect their strategic interests in the region.

Thus, everyone remains passive and reacting to the Iranian plan, which has been meticulously implemented since the seventh of last October, and the region and even the entire world is being led into a broad regional conflict that may transform at some point to include major powers, whether directly or indirectly.

The real dilemma in the Middle East is not to eradicate the terrorist Hamas and other Palestinian organizations only, but rather to eradicate all militias from the Middle East because the spread of these militias tempts others to copy their models.

Their survival and continuity, and the role they play in the region's crises, prompt the leaders of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards to adhere to their theory based on proxy war in several regional regions, and to pump more of the Iranian people's money and resources into them.

If French President Emmanuel Macron had proposed forming an international coalition similar to the international coalition that was formed to combat ISIS in order to eradicate Hamas, it would be more beneficial for this idea to expand and deepen to include an international response to the militias spread across the entire Middle East, and for this coalition to be Effective and precise in determining its goals and confronting the threat of all militias.
