Washington has confirmed that one of its most important priorities in the current period is to prevent the expansion of the ongoing conflict between Hamas and the Israeli army in the Gaza Strip, renewing its warning to any party intending to engage in the conflict to think twice before making its decision.

In his response to Asharq Al-Awsat’s question about the Houthi coup group in Yemen’s adoption of targeting several targets in Israel, Samuel Warburg, regional spokesman for the US State Department, avoided answering by saying: “We cannot enter into any hypotheses now, and we do not have any information to share.”

The Houthi group officially claimed targeting several Israeli targets, while Israel announced that it had responded to several missile and drone attacks coming from the Red Sea. The Israeli Navy also deployed several naval vessels in the Red Sea. To preserve its national security, as she put it.

Samuel pointed out that his country stressed from the beginning that “one of our most important priorities is to prevent the expansion of this conflict,” referring to the statement of US President Joe Biden, and that “any party hostile to Israel and thinking about engaging in this conflict must rethink twice before making its decision.” ».

Warburg continued by saying: “We repeat that any party thinking about exploiting this conflict must think twice before taking any step.”
