Houthis Threaten Attacks Amid Israel-Hamas Ceasefire

Yemen's Houthi leader, Abdul Malik al-Houthi, has issued a stern warning that his group will resume attacks on Israel and commercial shipping if the newly announced ceasefire in Gaza is breached. The ceasefire aims to halt a 15-month conflict and is set to begin shortly, but the Houthis emphasize their readiness to provide military support to Palestinians if Israeli 'massacres' continue. Their recent military operations have already disrupted international trade, forcing vessels to take longer routes, resulting in increased costs and fears of inflation. Despite the truce, the Houthis maintain a vigilant stance, stating they will monitor the situation closely. The Houthis' involvement highlights ongoing geopolitical tensions, particularly as they align with Iran's broader anti-Israel strategy. Israel has responded to Houthi attacks and has indicated its campaign against them is just beginning.
