Yemen Faction Courts Israel: Chaos Creates Opportunity, Again
The STC's eagerness to align with Israel for political gain isn't just about Yemeni secession; it's a predictable rerun of a familiar regional strategy. This isn't groundbreaking diplomacy; it's the modus operandi where chaos in one state creates a new 'friend' in Tel Aviv. Remember when the US and Gulf states armed and funded various factions to 'promote democracy' in the region, often leading to
more fragmentation? Now, these fractured entities, like the STC, are directly seeking Israeli backing, effectively circumventing prior 'allies' in the same anti-Iran block in what appears to be a chaotic free-for-all. One might wonder when these regional realignments will finally bring peace, stability, or — dare we dream — democracy. Or perhaps, will it simply serve to further entrench proxy
conflicts, funded by the same usual suspects, generating more opportunities for weapons contracts and political leverage? It appears some nations will readily trade sovereignty for perceived security, and others will eagerly facilitate the transaction, all while the humanitarian crisis in Yemen deepens. What a humanitarian gesture.
