Abstract

This study has addressed the regional and international orientations towards the Red Sea as well as the Yemeni role in the light of the repercussions of the Al-Aqsa Typhoon  which took place on October 7, 2023. The problem of the study was to know the geopolitical importance of the Red Sea region in the international politics, and the most prominent international and regional variables. It also aimed at knowing the Yemeni role in supporting the Palestinian Issue, and the military, economic, commercial and security repercussions it has caused.  The researcher followed the descriptive analytical approach to analyze the orientations that contributed to the events of the Red Sea, especially after the Al-Aqsa Typhoon operation. The researcher also used the realistic approach, which focuses on the concepts of power and the national interest. The study was divided into four chapters which discuss the regional and international orientations towards the Red Sea. The results of the study show that the Red Sea enjoys great geopolitical advantages that make it the focus of attention of the influential international powers, led by the United States of America, China and the European countries. In addition to the active regional countries that are competing to achieve control and influence in the service of their interests and ambitions, at the expense of the interests, security and well-being of the people of the region. The Yemeni role was to attack the Israeli interests in the Red Sea and the occupied Palestine, and to confront and confuse them. Attacking the trade that is linked to Israel has positive repercussions in terms of supporting the Palestinian issue.
