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.

"Biden's Yemen Strikes Spark Political Backlash"

President Joe Biden has launched air strikes on Huthi rebels in Yemen, a move that carries both political rewards and risks as the 2024 US election campaign heats up. The strikes are aimed at projecting strength at home and abroad, countering criticism of his leadership by Republicans. However, the risk of further inflaming the Middle East and the potential impact on the US economy and consumers could weigh heavily on Biden's reelection hopes. The decision has drawn criticism from both Republicans and the left-wing of his own Democratic Party, highlighting the complex political landscape surrounding US foreign policy in the region.

Houthi Attacks Threaten Yemen Peace Plan and International Shipping

Huthi rebels in Yemen claimed responsibility for a missile strike on a Norwegian tanker, which they said was part of their military campaign against Israel. The shipowner denied the claim, stating that the vessel was en route to Italy from Malaysia with feedstock for biofuel. France's defense ministry reported that one of its naval vessels intercepted and destroyed a drone launched during the attack. The incident occurred as the tanker passed through the Bab-el-Mandeb strait, a key route to the Suez Canal and Israel's southern port of Eilat. US and French warships have previously shot down Huthi missiles and drones in the Red Sea.
