Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —

United Nations Security Council (DK PBB) passed the resolution initiated United States of America about the militia attack Houthi Of wealth in the Red Sea, Wednesday (10/1).

The resolution urges the Houthis to immediately stop all attacks in the Red Sea targeting commercial vessels, especially those linked to Israel. This Houthi attack took place as an effort by the Houthis to defend Palestine which is currently facing brutal Israeli aggression in the Gaza Strip.

“Attacks that impede global trade and undermine the rights and freedom of navigation as well as regional peace and security,” the resolution was quoted as saying AFP.

However, two permanent members of the UN Security Council, namely Russia and China, chose to abstain along with non-permanent members such as Mozambique and Algeria.

The four countries expressed concern that the Israel vs Hamas war would spread and trigger potential military attacks by Western countries against Houthi targets in Yemen, as quoted Al Jazeera.

The UN also has similar concerns. The spokesperson for the UN Secretary General admitted that he was worried that if there was a Western attack it could have a very bad impact on Yemen, which is currently still in decline due to the ongoing civil war.

The Houthis have recently been in the spotlight after attacking ships in the Red Sea since Zionist forces launched aggression against Palestine.

Before Israel’s aggression against Palestine, the Houthis often launched drones in the Red Sea.

After the aggression, they claimed to have helped Palestine by attacking ships affiliated with Israel and attacking the Zionist state.

Intensive attacks from the Houthis have forced shipping companies to change longer routes, causing costs to increase.

The Houthis’ actions worried Israel’s ally, the United States. They even formed a coalition to stand guard in the Red Sea to prevent attacks by this group.

A number of parties have warned of a wider escalation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict after many parties are involved.

Israel launched aggression on October 7. During their operations they attacked residents and civilian objects such as hospitals and refugee camps.

As a result of the Israeli attack, more than 23,000 people in Palestine died.
