The latest manifestation of Israel’s murderous, self-declared war against the Palestinian people taking place these past months in Gaza, and increasingly across the West Bank, has also spread offshore. Yemen’s Ansar Allah, or Houthi movement is waging a war on Israeli shipping in the Red Sea in an effort to relieve the brutal embargo Israel is levying against Gaza.
A recent Houthi statement says, “If Gaza does not receive the food and medicine it needs, all ships in the Red Sea bound for Israeli ports, regardless of their nationality, will become a target for our armed forces.” Those vital supplies have so far been denied the two and half million people currently being bombed, and the Houthis have been as good as their word.
What has resulted is a growing crowd of armed international actors floating around the Bab-al-Mandeb straits in both the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, with more promised to come.
