Saudi Arabia has announced the formation of a multilateral maritime defense coalition led by itself, comprising 14 countries, with the aim of enhancing maritime security, protecting freedom of navigation, and securing international trade routes—particularly in the Red Sea and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. This announcement comes amid a tense situation with Yemen, where Yemeni forces have imposed a naval blockade on Saudi Arabia in response to the ongoing blockade against the Yemeni people and the deteriorating conditions resulting from the failure of the previous coalition, Operation Decisive Storm, which has not achieved its objectives after more than eleven years of war. The establishment of this new coalition raises questions about its legitimacy and objectives, especially given Yemen’s increasing military capabilities. Experience indicates that coalitions relying solely on military options may lead to escalation of conflicts, increased losses, and a repetition of the tactics that previously failed—further inflaming tensions and negatively impacting regional security and stability.
