Houthis impose a ban on Israeli maritime vessels
World
As Israel has once again restricted the delivery of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip, the Houthis have announced in response that they will impose a "ban" on the passage of Israel-linked vessels through the Red Sea.
On March 12, the Houthis in Yemen threatened to resume attacks on ships associated with Israel. In their statement, they declared their intention to prohibit the movement of all Israeli vessels in the Red Sea, the Arabian Sea, the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait, and the Gulf of Aden.
During peace negotiations, attacks were temporarily halted. This restriction took effect immediately upon its announcement.
At the end of January, the Houthis announced that they would limit attacks in the Red Sea during the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip. The six-week peace negotiations, mediated by the United States, Egypt, and Qatar, began on January 19. However, Israel and Hamas failed to agree on the next phase of the process.
A few days ago, Israel cut off humanitarian aid and electricity supplies to the Gaza Strip. According to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, this measure was intended to pressure Hamas into accepting the second phase of the ceasefire agreement.
On March 7, the Houthis threatened to resume attacks on ships in the Red Sea if Israel did not restore humanitarian aid deliveries.
For reference: On October 7, 2023, Hamas attacked Israel, resulting in the deaths of approximately 1,200 Israelis and the capture of around 250 hostages. In response, Israel launched a war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, leading to the deaths of over 47,000 Palestinians and injuries to around 110,000 people of varying severity.
