Global press reports and analyses have shone a light on the case filed by South Africa at the International Court of Justice in The Hague concerning Israel's military attack on the Gaza Strip and the airstrikes conducted by the United States and Britain against the Ansar Allah group (the Houthis) in Yemen.
The Guardian published an article discussing the case brought by South Africa to the International Court of Justice in The Hague concerning the Israeli military assault on Gaza. The piece emphasized that the allegation of genocide against Israel serves as a wakeup call for many Western governments and media outlets that supported the brutal Israeli war through complicity and attempts to steer the debate about the reality of what is happening in Gaza, as well as diplomatically backing Israel and providing it with weapons.
In another perspective, experts, whose analysis appeared in The New York Times, suggest that the strikes carried out against the Houthis in Yemen are unlikely to deter them, discounting the possibility that the group would cease their attacks against ships in the Red Sea. According to the report in the newspaper, over the past few years, the Houthis have managed to enhance their military capabilities.
Financial Times wrote that the strikes led by the United States and Britain in Yemen "raise concerns about an escalation of conflict in the region," pointing out that the Houthis' ongoing attacks in the Red Sea have forced the White House to reconsider its strategy despite President Joe Biden's attempts to control the scope of the war in the Gaza Strip.
In the same vein, the French newspaper Le Monde viewed the "Guardian of Prosperity" operation—which was initiated under pressure from the United States to secure cargo ships—as lacking considerable support from the West. The paper highlighted this as a sign of failure to gather defensive reinforcements to ensure the mission's success.
The French publication also noted that the hesitancy of Western nations, particularly those in Europe, has contributed to the United States' isolation in the region.
