A ceasefire would immediately stop Yemenis attacks in the Red Sea. But No, the US will not stop a genocide.
So this is what they do instead.
"...the U.S. and Britain have begun recruiting impoverished locals as informants and spies, offering financial rewards to those willing to trade local intelligence for cash. One of the most significant of these operations is Force 400."
The UAE is also involved. Really good investigative piece 👇

🔶️ A senior #IDF official said that the situation has been escalating since May because #Hezbollah conducted more successful drone attacks against Israeli targets that weren't intercepted.
🔶️ At the same time, Hezbollah started launching "Burkan" rockets with 1,000-pound to 2,000-pound warheads that caused significant damage to IDF bases along the border.

#Biden calls #America’s democratic values the “grounding wire of our global power” & its #alliances “our greatest asset.” …#Trump, called for withdrawing American forces in #Europe & #Asia & has promised… to cut loose even our closest #allies if they don’t do as he tells them. …Trump sees all countries as unreliable, the relations between them #transactional. That sentiment has spread throughout a #GOP that once championed America’s values abroad…
…#Biden responds to a question about America’s relationship w/ #SaudiArabia by saying that the #US has 2 kinds of #alliances: “There are #values-based, & there are #practical-based.”
…One of his first moves in office was to cut off certain #arms supplies over the kingdom’s #war in #Yemen, which has #displaced 4.5M people & #killed 377k, including 11k children…. Soon after, the de facto Saudi ruler… #MBS, met w/ #China’s FM & proposed greater cooperation on #nuclear energy & #security….
The Yemeni Armed Forces targeted the flagship of the United States Carrier Strike Group 2, the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, in response to multiple American-British strikes on Yemen.
In a statement, the spokesperson of the Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF), Brigadier General Yahya Saree, announced that the YAF’s Rocket Force and Navy launched a composite strike on the aircraft carrier.
The strike consisted of multiple anti-ship ballistic missiles and cruise missiles, which dealt direct and precise hits to the USS Eisenhower, Saree explained. The YAF’s attack on US Navy assets deployed in the region comes in response to 13 airstrikes that targeted both civilian and military areas across Yemen, leading to 58 casualties.
In detail, Saree said that the strikes in Hodeidah alone killed 16 people and injured another 41, including civilians and military personnel.
Saree reiterated that the YAF will “not hesitate to directly and immediately respond to any renewed aggression on Yemeni soil.”
The spokesperson said that the YAF would do so by attacking “all threatening and hostile American and British targets in the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea.”
Saree stressed that US-UK aggressions on Yemen will not stop the Yemeni Armed Forces from fulfilling its “religious, moral, humanitarian obligations toward the oppressed Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.”

Escalation in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Zone until the End of 21 May 2024
🔹In the northern #GazaStrip, Israeli forces have blocked two medical facilities and are fighting in Jabaliya. At the same time, air strikes by the Israeli Air Force continue in Gaza and the surrounding area.
🔹In the south of the Enclave, in the area of #Rafah, fighting is also taking place. There are no recorded advances by the IDF, and artillery and aviation do not stop operating in areas controlled by the Palestinians.
🔹In the #WestBank, Israeli security forces carried out several raids, and in #Jenin there have been clashes since the early morning, with local factions of the Palestinian resistance detonating several IEDs.
🔹On the border with #Lebanon, the exchange of strikes between the #IDF and #Hezbollah continues. Despite the liquidation of another field commander last evening, the number of shellings does not yet allow us to talk about an escalation.
🔹In #Yemen's airspace, the Houthis shot down another MQ-9 Reaper. The footage showed the defeat and fall of the UAV. This is the second shot down in May and the fifth since the escalation began on October 7.
