France will not carry out strikes on Yemeni positions to avoid escalation in the region, French President Emmanuel Macron said Tuesday.

"France has decided not to join the coalition that carried out preventive strikes against the positions of the Houthis on their territory because we want to avoid any escalation," Macron told a news conference aired by the Elysee Palace on X.

However, the French navy will persist in its involvement in "maintaining security in the Red Sea," the president emphasized, adding "We work toward protecting the freedom of maritime navigation. This is a diplomatic issue, not a military one."

This comes after France chose to refrain from signing a statement in support of US and UK airstrikes on the Yemeni resistance, citing its decision not to partake in bombing raids to protect Red Sea shipping, The Telegraph reported.

Earlier on Sunday, January 14th, an American-British aggression targeted Jabal Jida in al-Luhayyah District in the coastal province of Hodeidah, western Yemen, the Yemeni news agency SABA, based in Sanaa, reported. 

This aggression marks the third consecutive attack carried out by the United States and the United Kingdom since January 12th at dawn, with strikes targeting the capital Sanaa, Taiz, al-Hajja, and Hodeidah.

The strikes came after media reports that the US and the UK are mulling possible strikes against the Yemeni forces in an attempt to curb their operations in the Red and the Arabian seas against Israeli and Israeli-bound ships, The Financial Times reported, citing informed sources.
