US backs Israel, arms market amid regional turmoil: Analyst
Journalist and political commentator Robert Fantina says the renewed Saudi-Yemen tensions reflect deeper unresolved issues across the Middle East, arguing that security pacts among Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Turkey cannot bring lasting stability without addressing questions of self-determination and foreign military presence.
He says Yemen’s renewed operations against Saudi targets are part of a wider regional escalation following US-Israeli aggression against Iran, while noting that Washington is seeking to contain the growing strength of resistance groups such as the Houthis and Hezbollah.
Fantina argues that US involvement is driven by a desire to preserve its influence in the Middle East, strengthen Israel and maintain a lucrative market for American weapons. He characterizes the multiple conflicts, from Gaza and Lebanon to Yemen, Saudi Arabia and Iran, as interconnected elements of a broader strategy to keep the region unstable and divided.
The commentator concludes that Washington has historically prioritized regional hegemony over peace, and that the current cycle of conflict is likely to continue as long as the United States supports oppressive regional governments and Israeli military policies.
