Houthi Group: Ban on Certain Ships Crossing the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, and Arabian Sea

Data from a Houthi-controlled agency, obtained by Reuters on Thursday, indicated that "ships wholly or partially owned by Israeli individuals or entities, and ships flying the Israeli flag, are prohibited from passing through the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, and Arabian Sea." The data, sent to shipping insurance companies by the Houthi humanitarian operations coordination center, also stated that ships owned by American or British individuals or entities, or those sailing under the flags of the United States or Britain, are also subject to the ban.
