Trump announces Houthi-Chapter and promises « very large announcement »-Diepresse.com

After months of attacks by the US military in Yemen, US President Donald Trump suddenly makes a breakthrough. The Houthi militia in Yemen surrendered to the USA and did not want to attack ships, Trump said in Washington, completely surprisingly. The Oman, however, announced that they had conveyed a break between the United States and the Houthi in Yemen.

Both sides would have agreed not to carry out mutual attacks in the future, an spokesman for the Omani Ministry of Foreign Affairs said. This also includes attacks against American ships in the Red Sea. This should ensure the freedom of shipping and a unhindered course of international trade. The agreement is the result of the latest discussions and contacts between the USA and the Houthi authorities, which were led with the aim of the de-escalation, it was said.

Israel flew in Yemen until recently

Shortly before, Israel’s military flew several attacks on Houthi goals in Yemen. Houthi media spoke of Israeli-American attacks. The militia supported by Iran has not yet responded to Trump’s announcement.

The US military has been attacking the Houthi militia in Yemen for months, with the declared goal of protecting international shipping in the Red Sea. The Houthi always attack commercial and military ships there. Actually, they only wanted these attacks at the end of the Gaza War between Israel and the one also supported by Iran Hamas set.

The Houthi militia controls large areas in the north of the country, including the capital Sanaa and the port city of Hodeidah. In solidarity with Hamas, she also regularly fires floors towards Israel.

Trump: « You have surrendered »

Trump said in the White House that he took the assurance seriously and in return would have the US attacks on Houthi adjusted with immediate effect. « You have surrendered. (…) We will take them at the word, » said Trump. « You said, please no longer bomb us and we won’t attack your ships. »

According to Trump’s statements, further details were completely unclear. The US President did not mention the Houthi attacks on Israel. Studied from Israeli circles that Trump’s announcement was surprised and not informed in advance.

Shortly before, the Israeli military himself attacked in Yemen. The Houthi-related TV station Al-Masirah reported several attacks on the international airport in Sanaa. Three people were killed and 38 people were injured, reported the Ministry of Health controlled by the Houthi.

The Houthi threatened that the attacks would not remain unanswered, as it was said in a statement by the political office of the proiran militia. Israel’s Air Force has attacked several times in Yemen since the GAZA War outbreak.

Israel’s army: Airport fully paralyzed

The Israeli army announced that the Air Force had attacked and destroyed the infrastructure of the Houthi militia at the airport in Sanaa in response to attacking the airport on Sunday in Tel Aviv. The airport was fully paralyzed. Starting and landingways and aircraft were also hit. « Similar to the port of Hodeidah attacked yesterday, the Houthi terrorist organization airport served as a central hub for the transport of weapons and members. »

The Israeli military also attacked several important power plants in the Sanaa area. The Houthi also used them for their purposes. Another goal was a concrete factory that the militia needs, for example, for the construction of tunnels.

The Israeli Minister of Defense Israel Katz told the attack in Yemen that this was also a warning to Tehran. Iran has direct responsibility for every attack by the Houthi octopus arm on the state of Israel.

Airplanes destroyed and damaged

Sources at the airport confirmed the German press agency that flight operations were stopped. Two planes were destroyed. Another was damaged. A total of only four machines are in use at the airport. One of them was in the Jordan capital Amman at the time of the attacks and initially did not return because of the attacks.

The U.N.-Son insisted for Yemen, Hans Grundberg, described the recent attacks between the Houthi militia in Yemen and the Israeli military as a dangerous escalation.

Israel’s army demanded evacuation of the airport in Sanaa

A spokesman for the Israeli military had previously called up all « those present in the area of ​​international airport » in Sanaa to leave the airport site immediately. There are several residential areas around the airport.

Israel had already attacked dozens of Houthi in the country on Monday evening. There were at least four dead and 35 injuries.

A rocket from the Houthi militia was hit in Israel near Tel Aviver Airport Ben Gurion on Sunday. Israel then threatened retribution.

Hamas: Talks about Gaza caving rest have no sense

Meanwhile, the Islamist terrorist group Hamas considers further conversations with Israel about a new ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and the release of hostages. « In view of the hunger war that Israel leads in the Gaza Strip, negotiations or dealing with new proposals have no sense, » said Basem Naim, a high -ranking member of the Hamas Politburos. He left open whether Hamas wants to resume talks with Israel if Israel ends the blockade of aid deliveries that has been going on for around two months.

Israel accuses the Hamas to pick up the relief goods and to sell them profitably to the civilian population in order to finance their members and weapons.

Israel’s finance minister threatens Gazas with « total destruction »

The right -wing extremist Israeli Finance Minister Bezhalel Smotrich meanwhile threatened a complete destruction of the Gaza Strip and the expulsion of the residents. Smotrich spoke at a settler conference in the West Bank and answered the question of how a victory in the Gaza War looks for him: « Gaza totally destroyed. » He described the coastal strip as « a single large terrorist infrastructure, above and underground ».

According to the government’s will, the Israeli army should conquer the Gaza Strip and keep it occupied. Tens of thousands of reservists are mobilized for the large -scale offensive.
