[Politics] United States policy at war

[Mr.Daniel]

 

The violence has spread beyond Israel and Gaza to the entire region, after Iran carried out attacks in Iraq, Syria and Pakistan, and the United States struck Houthi targets again in Yemen amid continued attacks on ships in the Red Sea.

Iran's foreign minister said that if the conflict in Gaza ends, other attacks in the region would also stop.

Israel's army chief said the likelihood of a war along the border with Lebanon is now "much higher" than in recent times.

Israeli forces appear to have withdrawn from the area around a key hospital in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis after their approach on Tuesday night caused panic among the thousands of refugees there.

 

Medicine and aid for Palestinians and Israeli hostages entered Gaza, according to Dr. Majed Al-Ansari, spokesman for Qatar's Foreign Ministry.

"In recent hours, medicines and aid have entered Gaza, in application of the agreement announced yesterday for the benefit of civilians in the enclave, including hostages. Qatar, together with its regional and international partners, continues its mediation efforts at the political and humanitarian," Al-Ansari wrote on X, formerly Twitter, on Wednesday night.

Qatar announced this Tuesday that it brokered an agreement between Israel and Hamas to allow medicine for Palestinians and Israeli hostages to enter Gaza.

 

The United States carried out another round of strikes against the Houthis in Yemen, according to two US officials, marking the fourth time the US has attacked the Iran-backed rebel group in less than a week.

The US strikes are the latest in a series of actions against the Houthis, following major US-led strikes last week with the UK and a handful of other allies supporting them.

This comes amid rising tensions in the Middle East and fears that the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza could spread further to the region.

Hours earlier, the Houthis attacked a US-owned and operated ship for the second time this week. On Monday, the Houthis attacked another U.S.-owned and operated ship with an anti-ship ballistic missile in what appeared to be the first successful attack on a U.S. asset since the group began ramming international shipping lanes in mid-November.
