Analysis: Risk of spiraling Mideast violence grows as war in Gaza inflames tensions

Associated Press  

JERUSALEM — Israel’s war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip has raised the temperature on tensions across the Middle East, increasing the risk that other conflicts in the region could spin out of control. The Houthis, a rebel group that has held Yemen’s capital since 2014, link their attacks on shipping in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden directly back to the war in Gaza. Armed and supported by Iran, the Houthis have a world view guided by their group’s slogan: “God is the greatest, death to America, death to Israel, curse the Jews, victory to Islam.” Yemen, the Arab world’s poorest country, is locked in a stalemated war between the Houthis and parties under the banner of a Saudi-led coalition. Even in Afghanistan — where the Taliban hold sway since the fall of Kabul in 2021 — an affiliate of the Islamic State group may yet to take advantage of the Gaza war to launch new attacks amid the extremists’ new campaign tied to the conflict.
