Houthis announce end to Red Sea attacks except on Israeli-owned ships

With the ceasefire in Gaza coming into force on January 19, the Humanitarian Operations Coordination Center (HOCC) has said that the Houthis would be lifting a ban on all except wholly Israeli-owned and flagged vessels from transiting the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden region. According to the HOCC, this would see it ceasing to target vessels heading to Israeli ports, vessels owned by individuals or companies in the US and UK, or sailing under their flags, vessels partially owned by Israeli individuals or entities, and vessels managed or operated by Israeli individuals or companies. In the case of wholly Israeli-owned or flagged ships, it said these vessels will remain prohibited from transiting the Red Sea, Bab-el-Mandeb, the Gulf of Aden, the Arabian Sea, and the Indian Ocean at present, as per reports.
