The Houthis have issued a warning that they will resume attacks on international shipping if Israel fails to uphold the truce regarding Gaza. They recently released the crew of the Galaxy Leader, a cargo vessel seized during the conflict. This release involved the mediation of Oman and coordination with the Palestinian Hamas movement, illustrating solidarity with Gaza. Since November 2023, the Houthis have intensified attacks on vessels in the Red Sea and Mediterranean, supporting Palestinians against Israel and prompting military responses from the U.S., U.K., and Israel against Houthi positions in Yemen.
The Houthis have warned they will resume attacks on international commercial shipping if Israel reneges on Gaza truce, showcasing their commitment to the Palestinian cause.
The 25-strong crew who spent 430 days in captivity were released as part of a deal involving the Hamas movement and mediation by Oman, demonstrating international diplomatic efforts.
