In early July, Yemen’s Houthis launched a sophisticated and multi-pronged attack on The Magic Seas and The Eternity C, two Greek-owned and Liberian-flagged vessels in the Red Sea. Both vessels were sunk by the group, officially known as Ansar Allah.
The attacks were the largest in scope, and firepower, since the Houthis began targeting ships in the Red Sea in November 2023 in what they say is solidarity with besieged Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
“There is a big discussion in the market right now whether insurers should cover vessels with even indirect connections to Israel,” one of the shipping sources told MEE. “This is not good for Israel. The optics are damaging. The Israelis have spoken to insurers and shipping companies.”
Western media is currently doublespeak between Sharaa being great and not needing sanctions, and Sharaa massacaring Druze and Israel needing to protect them.
Both Sharaa and the Druze leaders here are working for Israel so it’s a giant theatre where both leaders will let their subordinates kill themselves with infighting so Israel can swoop in and steal the land.
