Israel Pushes for International Coalition to Launch Renewed Strikes on Houthis in Yemen
Senior Israeli officials have sent formal communications to Washington, urging more robust joint operations and expanded military coordination, citing what they describe as a 'global maritime security threat.'
Israel argues that the Houthis' continued missile and drone strikes on vessels in the Red Sea and infrastructure such as Eilat Port and Ben Gurion Airport call for collective action beyond limited air raids.
Sources close to the Israeli defense establishment suggest that the proposed coalition may include regional and Western powers and could mimic past multinational efforts in Syria and Lebanon.
Intelligence-sharing between Israel and the United States has reportedly increased in recent weeks, with a focus on neutralizing Houthi launch capabilities and disrupting their supply chains.

Democratic Front condemns Israeli carnages in Gaza
Gaza - Saba: The Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine condemned the massacres committed by the fascist Israeli army over the past 48 hours, which claimed the lives of more than 210 martyrs across the Gaza Strip. In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba) on Monday, the Democratic Front condemned "the decisions of the head of the fascist Israeli junta and war criminal wanted by the International Criminal Court, Benjamin Netanyahu, and his orders to his army to commit further killing, destruction, displacement, and starvation, in order to achieve his dark goals of pressuring the Palestinian people to emigrate from the Gaza Strip and raise the banner of surrender." The Democratic Front said: "Palestinian blood has been flowing profusely at the hands of the fascist Israeli army over the past week. The daily killing rate has reached 100 martyrs, most of whom are displaced families, including children and women, in addition to dozens of wounded who have no chance of recovery due to the lack of essential medicines in Gaza's hospitals." The Democratic Front condemned the profound silence shown by some members of the international community regarding the events in the Gaza Strip, particularly the position of the United States, which is betting on the blood of the peoples of the region, especially the Palestinian people, to rebuild the region under its hegemony in its international struggle over the capabilities and wealth of the peoples. The Democratic Front added: "If the American administration is trying to pressure Israeli institutions to grant Netanyahu amnesty for the crimes of corruption he committed against the occupying entity, our people will not stand idly by until Netanyahu and his associates, the ruling fascist clique within the Israeli political and military establishment, are punished by the International Criminal Court."

Gaza Media: Enemy rages systematic thirsty war on Gaza
Gaza - Saba: The government media office in Gaza confirmed on Monday that the Zionist enemy is waging a systematic war of deprivation of water in the Gaza Strip, committing 112 massacres against water filling lines, killing more than 700 people, the majority of whom are children. In a press statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba), he said, "In one of the most heinous crimes committed against humanity, the Israeli enemy continues to wage a systematic and deliberate war of deprivation against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, in flagrant violation of all international and humanitarian conventions, in which water is used as a weapon of collective war to exterminate the population and deprive them of their most basic rights." Today, the media office published accurate statistics on the enemy's crimes, targeting (112) fresh water filling stations, committing massacres against hundreds of civilians in water filling lines, most of them children seeking drinking water. The most recent massacre occurred in the New Camp, northwest of the Nuseirat camp (central Gaza Strip), where the enemy killed 12 martyrs, including eight children. The enemy also deliberately destroyed (720) water wells, putting them out of service, depriving more than a million and a quarter people of access to clean water. It also prevented the entry of 12 million liters of fuel per month, the minimum amount needed to operate the minimum number of water wells, sewage treatment plants, waste collection vehicles, and other vital sectors. This ban has caused a near-total paralysis of water and sewage networks and exacerbated the spread of epidemics, especially among children. The Office stated that since January 23, 2025, the enemy has cut off the Mekorot water supply—the last major source of water supply to the Gaza Strip—exacerbating the tragedy of thirst and daily suffering. It pointed out that on March 9, 2025, the enemy cut off the last power line supplying the last central desalination plant located south of Deir al-Balah (central Gaza Strip), halting the production of large quantities of drinking water and further exacerbating the stifling water crisis. The Office stated that the Gaza Strip is today witnessing a major crime of deprivation of water, carried out deliberately and systematically by the Israeli enemy, amidst complete international silence and the direct and indirect participation of European and Western countries implicated in supporting or complicit in the crime of genocide. The clear components and elements of this crime are no longer hidden, most notably: starvation, deprivation of water, and deprivation of medicine, shelter, and water. It stated that this racist policy constitutes a full-fledged war crime under the Geneva Conventions and a serious violation of international humanitarian law and human rights, for which the Israeli enemy authorities bear full responsibility. The Office held the states supporting and complicit in this genocide—primarily the United States, Germany, France, and the United Kingdom—legally and morally responsible for the continuation of this most serious humanitarian catastrophe in modern times. The Office called on the international community, and all UN, human rights, and international legal institutions, to take urgent action to immediately halt the war of deprivation, ensure unhindered access to water for civilians, and pressure the enemy to bring in the fuel and equipment necessary to operate water wells and sewage treatment plants. It also called for an urgent international investigation into the crime of deprivation of water, as it is part of the ongoing genocide against civilians in the Gaza Strip. It also called for the enemy to be held accountable before international courts for its crimes against defenseless civilians, and for its criminal leaders to be brought before international courts. The Office stressed that "these complex crimes do not and will not be subject to a statute of limitations, and that the steadfast Palestinian people will remain committed to their right to a dignified life. We will continue to expose these crimes to the world until full justice is achieved." Whatsapp Telegram Email Print more of (International)
