Watan<\/strong><\/em>-The Guardian published an op-ed by Paul Rogers, honorary professor of Peace Studies at the University of Bradford, criticizing the UK\u2019s recent airstrike on the Houthis in Yemen as a symbolic alignment with Donald Trump\u2019s administration.<\/p>\n

Rogers argued that while Trump\u2019s foreign policy remains globally condemned, the Labour government\u2019s participation in a U.S.-led military campaign marks renewed support for it.<\/p>\n

This week, British Royal Air Force jets struck Houthi targets in Yemen\u2014the first military operation approved by Labour leader Keir Starmer\u2014joining the ongoing American offensive, launched mid-March, and continuing for over 45 days.<\/p>\n

The U.S. operation, dubbed \u201cOperation Rough Rider\u201d, aims to demonstrate Trump’s tougher stance against the Houthis compared to Biden. The Pentagon claims over 1,000 targets have been hit.<\/p>\n

UK strikes reportedly targeted a drone manufacturing facility used in Houthi attacks on Red Sea shipping, underlining Britain\u2019s growing military alignment with Trump\u2019s policies.<\/p>\n

\"U.S.
The Houthi movement announced 10 new U.S. airstrikes across northern Yemen, bringing the total to over 1,300 since mid-March<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Since the Gaza war began, the Houthis began attacking vessels linked to Israel, citing support for Palestinians. These attacks cut traffic through the Suez Canal nearly in half between 2023 and 2024.<\/p>\n

The Biden administration initially responded with airstrikes in January 2024. The UK joined in during Rishi Sunak\u2019s term, approving five waves of Royal Air Force strikes.<\/p>\n

Now, under Labour, British involvement has intensified but drawn little media attention\u2014despite mounting reports of civilian casualties, including an American strike this week that killed 70 African migrants in a detention center, according to Houthi sources.<\/p>\n

Although U.S. forces have carried out most of the bombings, British participation is more than symbolic. For example, a British jet from RAF Akrotiri (Cyprus) supported an American raid that killed 53 people, including women and children, six weeks ago.<\/p>\n

Rogers highlighted that RAF Akrotiri is central not only to the war in Yemen but also to Israel\u2019s war on Gaza, functioning as a joint U.S.-UK base providing operational support.<\/p>\n

British surveillance planes have conducted over 500 reconnaissance flights over Gaza, allegedly to locate hostages held by Hamas\u2014but often aligned with major Israeli assaults. One RAF spy plane may have even landed in Israel.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, U.S. military planes have used Akrotiri for multiple missions, yet UK authorities have refused to disclose details, even to Parliament. Unofficial sources suggest U.S. special forces and arms shipments to Israel pass through the base. High-level coordination also includes regular visits between UK and Israeli military officials.<\/p>\n

During the current Gaza war, Israeli military transport aircraft have landed at RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire, the UK\u2019s main airlift base\u2014further highlighting the deepening military ties between the two nations.<\/p>\n

\"Houthi
U.S. Airstrikes Kill Dozens of African Migrants in Yemen Amid Rising Civilian Casualties<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Wider Political Impact in the UK<\/h3>\n

The UK\u2019s deepening military role raises serious political concerns, especially amid Israel\u2019s escalating siege and humanitarian blockade on Gaza<\/a>, which followed its breach of a ceasefire agreement.<\/p>\n

Even if the war ends soon\u2014a highly unlikely outcome\u2014its devastating consequences will last for decades, Rogers warned.<\/p>\n

Domestically, this complicates Keir Starmer\u2019s position. Among the UK\u2019s broad political left, support for Palestinians is deeply entrenched, manifesting in weekly protests, rallies, and direct actions across towns and cities. These events receive little mainstream media coverage but are shifting grassroots sentiment.<\/p>\n

Criticism has grown louder over UK-based companies supplying arms to Israel, and Labour has dropped in polls since the July 2024 election. For many, Gaza was the breaking point\u2014causing members and supporters to abandon the party in protest.<\/p>\n

Rogers concludes that Britain\u2019s airstrike on Yemen\u2014coinciding with Trump\u2019s aggressive military push and Israel\u2019s brutal campaign in Gaza\u2014reflects a dangerous entanglement. Instead of using its limited influence to restrain Netanyahu, the Starmer government is doubling down on military alignment with Trump and deepening its role in a highly controversial regional war.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
