Ceasefire in Gaza raises hopes of Houthi pause in Red Sea attacks

COPENHAGEN: The Gaza ceasefire agreement reached between Israel and Hamas under a US-brokered plan has raised hopes that Yemen’s Houthi forces may ease attacks on commercial shipping in the Red Sea, a development that could stabilize a key regional trade route. The Houthis, who have claimed responsibility for attacks on vessels since late 2023, have not yet commented on the ceasefire or signaled a change in policy. Their campaign has forced ships to reroute around the southern tip of Africa, disrupting global supply chains and drawing international naval responses.
