The future of the Red Sea following the burning of Sonion

The recent Yemeni operation has put navigation associated with the Israeli occupation in the Red Sea at a crossroads. What will the situation look like in the coming period?

Exclusive – Al-Khabar Al-Yemeni:

For the first time since the start of Yemeni operations supporting Gaza in November of last year, one of the world’s first countries announced a ban on its sailors crossing the Red Sea and the waterways near Yemen.

This step is not just a stance by an Asian country, but by a country whose workers control the navigation movement and operate dozens of cargo ships around the world.

According to the statement from the Philippine Foreign Ministry, which is also one of America’s most prominent allies, the situation in the Red Sea has become dangerous for sailors, pointing to companies associated with the Israeli occupation or those trying to break the Yemeni blockade of it, even at the expense of their workers.

The Philippine decision was a step in the right direction, but at the same time, it indicates a shift in the situation of the Red Sea in the coming period, especially as no similar directive was issued during previous operations in which Filipino sailors were killed and injured.

The Philippines is not a party to the war, and its situation is similar to that of many international shipping companies, such as the German “Lloyd Bagh,” the Danish Maersk, and others. They have recently announced an increase in shipping fees while continuing to search for alternative passages via the Cape of Good Hope, in addition to the losses it has incurred in the recent period.

In reality, the Red Sea does not seem to be as dangerous to this extent, as Western reports mention the passage of hundreds of ships not associated with the occupation and don’t defraud the Yemeni decision.

The latest of these reports was what the European mission stated in a statement in which it spoke about the passage of about 300 cargo ships since February, which is much more than those that passed in the same period last year before the Yemeni escalation. Although the European mission tried to portray this as an accomplishment, although it did not register a presence in most days and weeks, it indicates that navigation is proceeding normally except for the ships included in Sana’a’s list, starting from those linked to the Israeli occupation to the American and British, ending with those attempting to break the blockade.
