Yemen's Huthi Rebels Turn Seized Cargo Ship into Tourist Attraction

Yemen's Huthi rebels have turned the seized Galaxy Leader cargo ship into a domestic "tourist attraction" for male-only groups, charging about a dollar per trip to visit the vessel, which is now decorated with Yemeni and Palestinian flags and anti-American and anti-Israel slogans. The rebels captured the ship in solidarity with Palestinians during the Israel-Hamas war and have launched attacks on passing commercial ships they claim are linked to Israel. Despite US-led naval patrols and strikes on Huthi military sites, visitors continue to flock to the ship, viewing it as a source of pride and a symbol of resistance against the US and Israel. The fate of the 25 detained crew members remains unknown.

Houthis' Ship Seizures in Yemen and Red Sea Raise Concerns

The Galaxy Leader, a commercial ship, was illegally boarded by military personnel via a helicopter and is now in the Hodeidah port area in Yemen, according to its owner. The vessel's communication was lost after the incident. The Houthis, backed by Iran, released video footage showing armed men seizing the cargo ship in the Red Sea. The United States condemned the seizure as a breach of international law and demanded the immediate release of the ship and its crew. The Bahamas-flagged Galaxy Leader has a crew from various nationalities and is chartered by Japan's Nippon Yusen. The owner expressed concern for the safety and security of the 25 crew members currently being held.
