“After a few months of peace, the renewal of regrettable attacks in the Red Sea represents re -violations of international law and freedom of voyage,” said IMO Secretary General IMO Arsenio Dominguez on Tuesday.
Solidarity of insurgents with gaza
Shiite insurgents, who have been controlling a large part of Yemen for more than a decade, began in November 2023 – shortly after the outbreak of the war in the Gaza Strip – to fire in the Red Sea and the Gulf of the Gulf of the ship associated with Israel. They described the attacks as a manifestation of solidarity with the Palestinians in Gaza. Several times, drones and rockets were released directly to Israel. Most of them shot down air defense.
These attacks have caused retaliation of the US and Britain and disrupted global trade, as the ships between Asia and Europe did not floral across the Suez Canal, but around Africa. Subsequently, the Husy also began to attack the ships associated with the US and Britain.
