Suez Canal traffic falls 66% after attacks on Red Sea shipping
Wednesday, 24 April 2024 Shipping traffic through the vital Suez Canal artery has plunged by 66% since cargo was forced to divert due to attacks on vessels, according to official figures.
The Houthis have reported that all casualties in Hodeida from a recent U.S.-UK assault were civilians and have vowed a "painful response" to Americans. The U.S. Navy aircraft carrier Eisenhower, now in the Red Sea and past its 200-day deployment mark, faces relentless Houthi attacks. The Red Sea, carrying around 20% of the world's maritime trade, is a key route to Europe via the Suez Canal, though less critical to America. Despite the U.S. carrier's presence, the waters remain extremely dangerous

Yemen's armed forces have escalated their attacks in the Red Sea, targeting the ship "Charysalis" with missiles and drones. These strikes are part of Yemen's retaliation against Israel's actions in Gaza and support for Palestinians. Yemen vows to continue such operations until the Gaza siege ends. The attacks have significantly disrupted global shipping, forcing vessels to reroute around Africa. Meanwhile, large-scale demonstrations in Yemen show public support for Gaza.

The Houthi rebels have released a provocative music video titled "Ship, Ship 2024," mocking Israel and its allies, particularly the U.S. and U.K. The high-budget production features characters resembling Netanyahu, Biden, and Sunak, satirizing the Gaza conflict and tensions in the Red Sea. The video concludes with a warning that "no ship will be spared," highlighting the Houthis' ongoing attacks on shipping lanes since November, which they claim are in solidarity with Palestinians.

Reports suggest Russia plans to arm Yemen's Houthi rebels with advanced anti-ship ballistic cruise missiles, potentially shifting Middle East power dynamics. This move could threaten Western interests, especially commercial shipping in the Red Sea. The Houthis, aligned with Iran, have increased attacks on vessels recently. Russia's closer ties with Iran and anti-Western alliances drive this cooperation. U.S. officials worry about escalating conflicts, particularly between Israel and Hezbollah, potentially deepening Iran-Russia military collaboration.
