Sanaa links Beirut strike to broader regional strategy, warns against imposing new status quo
SANAA, June 14 (YPA) – In a political assessment that went beyond conventional condemnation, Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, identified the strategic core of the current regional crisis, arguing that the coincidence of talk about a “comprehensive memorandum of understanding” and the bombing of Beirut’s southern suburbs was not merely a military development, but rather a deliberate repetition of the “deception scenario” previously applied in the Gaza Strip.
In a statement issued on Sunday, Yemen’s Foreign Ministry presented a deeper analysis of Israeli occupation’s approach, arguing that Israeli occupation is seeking to manufacture a symbolic victory and impose a new “equation of permissiveness” under the cover of negotiations, similar to what it says occurred after previous ceasefire agreements in Gaza.
According to the Yemeni view, this pattern reflects an “open and coordinated exchange of roles” between Washington and Tel Aviv.
The statement argued that Israeli occupation’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu could not act at such a sensitive moment without a “green light” from the United States, allowing him room to maneuver while undermining the substance of existing agreements.
Sanaa’s assessment did not confine the attack to the Lebanese arena alone. Instead, it linked the developments to simultaneous escalations in Gaza, the West Bank, and Syria, portraying them as evidence of international inaction that extends no further than issuing statements of condemnation that enable Israel to continue its military actions.
Based on this assessment, Sanaa went beyond expressions of solidarity and outlined what it described as two key messages for the next phase:
First, a regional message: affirming that the Axis of Resistance has made a collective decision to prevent the imposition of this new equation, regardless of the scale of challenges or future developments.
Second, a Yemeni message: renewing its strategic commitment to support the Lebanese resistance, not only politically but “by all available means,” a position that it said leaves open multiple possibilities on supporting fronts should the occupation continue crossing red lines.
