Houthis Deny Intent to Attack Israeli Ships in Red Sea
The Houthi movement has informed senior American officials during a meeting in Oman that they do not intend to attack Israeli ships in the Red Sea. This statement comes amidst ongoing regional tensions and Houthi attacks on shipping in the Red Sea, which they claim are in solidarity with Palestinians.
Despite the denial, the Houthis have previously targeted vessels they claim are linked to Israel. The group has been a significant factor in disrupting international shipping through the Bab el-Mandeb strait, a crucial maritime route. The recent meeting in Oman aimed to de-escalate tensions and clarify the Houthis' intentions.
