Houthi Attacks Prompt Crew Abandonment and US Investigation in Red Sea

The crew of a cargo ship in the Red Sea was forced to abandon ship after it came under attack from the Houthi militia in Yemen, escalating tensions in the region. Meanwhile, Israel is considering increasing restrictions on access to the Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem during Ramadan, potentially leading to unrest. Israeli military operations have severely impacted the functioning of hospitals in Gaza, and the International Court of Justice is holding hearings on the legality of Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories. Additionally, a far-left Israeli lawmaker narrowly avoided expulsion from Parliament after backing efforts to charge Israel with genocide at the International Court of Justice, and Brazil's President Lula recalled the country's ambassador to Israel amid escalating tensions over his critiques of Israel's war on Hamas.

Red Sea Tensions Disrupt Carnival Cruise Itineraries

Tensions in the Red Sea, particularly due to attacks by the Iran-backed Houthi militia in Yemen, have led cruise companies like Royal Caribbean, Carnival Corporation, and MSC Cruises to cancel or reroute voyages to avoid the area. Carnival Corporation has announced rerouting 12 ships across seven of its brands in May, while other brands like Costa Cruises and Princess Cruises have also made itinerary changes and cancellations due to the security situation in the region. These adjustments come after a series of attacks by Houthi rebels on vessels transiting through the Red Sea and the Suez Canal, prompting US and UK military strikes against Houthi targets.

Yemen's Evolving Threat: Houthi Militia and US Response

The Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen have become a formidable foe for the U.S. military, employing tactics of irregular warfare and mobile missile launchers that have proven difficult to counter. Despite multiple rounds of airstrikes, the Pentagon has struggled to significantly diminish the Houthi's ability to target ships in the Red Sea. The rebels have honed their tactics with the help of Iran and Hezbollah, making it challenging for the U.S. to effectively neutralize their threat without getting drawn into a prolonged conflict.

"Escalating Tensions: US Conducts Multiple Strikes on Houthis in Yemen Amid Israel-Hamas Conflict"

The U.S. conducted airstrikes against Houthi missile sites in Yemen for the fifth time in a week, amid escalating tensions in the Middle East involving Israel, Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, and Pakistan. The Houthis, defying demands to cease attacks on shipping lanes, have portrayed their campaign as a battle to force Israel to end its Gaza campaign. Israel's president singled out Iran as the source of threats, while Pakistan retaliated with strikes inside Iran after Iranian forces attacked what they said were militant camps in Pakistan. In Gaza, a hospital has become a refuge for displaced people, and it's estimated that it will cost $15 billion to rebuild destroyed housing units. Additionally, a communications blackout in Gaza has left civilians unable to call for help and aid workers struggling to reach them.

European Union member states have given initial backing to a naval mission to protect ships from attacks by Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi militia in the Red Sea, aiming to establish it by Feb. 19 at the latest and make it operational soon afterwards. The mission, which would coordinate with the U.S.-led operation in the region, aims to deter Houthi attacks and safeguard the crucial trade route. However, there are concerns about command and control, rules of engagement, and coordination with other EU missions, highlighting divisions in the West over how to deal with the Iranian-aligned Houthis.

"Houthis' Unyielding Stance in Red Sea Standoff"

Houthi attacks on naval and merchant ships in the Red Sea continue, causing one in five vessels to avoid the Suez Canal. The leader of the Houthis has demanded ships to notify the militia of their routes and declare no connections with Israel to avoid being attacked. The US naval destroyer USS Laboon intercepted a Houthi drone near commercial ships, while six small craft approached a merchant ship in Yemeni waters. The ongoing threat to shipping in the area has led to speculation about carriers altering their routes, and there are reports that COSCO, the world's fourth largest containerline, has stopped visiting Israeli ports.
