The Spin
Pro-Israel narrative
The military campaign against Yemen is necessary to protect international shipping lanes and prevent attacks on vessels in the Red Sea, with continued strikes essential until the Houthis cease their aggressive actions against maritime traffic and Israel.
Pro-Palestine narrative
The attacks on shipping and Israel are legitimate acts of solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza and will continue until Israel ends its military operations in Gaza and lifts the siege. The US strikes are unwarranted aggression against Yemen.
