“China Replace Israel With Palestine On Maps”

Houthi rebels from Yemen carried out another attack on ships in the Red Sea on Thursday, deploying an explosive drone near a US Navy vessel. This incident occurred within a day of warnings from a US-led coalition, known as Operation Prosperity Guardian, which aims to protect the area.

These ongoing attacks, happening for weeks, pose a significant threat to the flow of commercial goods through the Red Sea and Suez Canal – a crucial trade route between Asia and Western countries. The Houthi rebels and their Iranian backers use this low-cost method to challenge the effectiveness of the US-led coalition response. The situation has heightened tensions in the region, escalating since Hamas' attacks in Israel on October 7.
