I agree, there is not enough in the mainstream press about the war in Yemen. But, as Dr. Gabor Maté says, the mainstream news in the West follows US foreign policy and has done so for decades. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHDBw-wx6w0&t=26s
However, perhaps the West may hear more about the Yemen as the "threat of regional war has become more explicit with intensifying Houthi attacks in the Red Sea".
There was a ceasefire agreement in 2022, and even though it was broken six months later, there are still talks going on between the Yemen Military Forces (the Houthi) and Saudi Arabia. This is mainly due to China being able to broker a rapprochement between Saudi Arabia and Iran, said to back the Houthis. It looks like this proxy war is dying down but there will still be sporadic fighting.
"A US intelligence report found that about 40-45% of the 29,000 air-to-ground munitions that Israel has used in the Gaza war were unguided.
CNN reported on Wednesday night that analysis conducted by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence found that nearly half of the air-to-ground munitions that Israel has used in the war against Hamas were unguided, leading to high casualty rates. More than 18,000 people have been killed in Gaza since Oct. 7, with the death toll rising even as US officials pressure Israel to avoid indiscriminate bombings.
The report and growing death toll have widened the rift between the United States and Israel as Sullivan visits the region. He started his trip in Saudi Arabia, where the threat of regional war has become more explicit with intensifying Houthi attacks in the Red Sea.
It just gets more depressing. This ditto in the Yemen. Wish we could see these angles in the mainstream. Thank you.
