The US government announced several days ago that it has launched an international maritime coalition named "Operation Prosperity Guardian" to protect commercial shipping lanes in the Red Sea and counter attacks by the Ansarullah movement. Several countries have welcomed the alliance, while most countries in the world, even close allies of the United States and Israel, have refused to join the alliance. A few days ago, the US Defense Minister, Lloyd Austin, had officially announced that the countries of Bahrain, England, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Seychelles and Spain have joined the alliance. Now after the announcement of the withdrawal of three important European countries from the American naval coalition in the Red Sea, it will be very difficult to achieve Washington's goals, especially to deal with Yemen's missile and drone attacks against the Zionist regime of Israel and ships leading to the occupied Palestinian lands.

At the same time, the announcement of the withdrawal of three European NATO member states from the US naval alliance shows the position of those countries of no confidence in Washington. Also, the move is said to be a kind of complaint and opposition against the US policies of isolating and protecting the regime that continues to kill Israeli children and oppose the cessation of the bloody war in Gaza. For its part, the Ansarullah movement and the Yemeni army have announced that they will continue to attack Israeli commercial ships even though the illegal regime continues to commit crimes and kill Palestinian citizens in the Gaza Strip. ​Ansarullah has added that: The alliance announced by the United States is an important part of the sabotage against the people of Palestine, Gaza and the Arab and Muslim community.
