Companies are rerouting around South Africa to avoid militia attacks in Yemen in one of the biggest disruptions to world trade since the Covid-19 pandemic
the other option is to comply with the Houthi demands that the starvation of the people of Gaza be ended and supplies be allowed in accordance with the International Laws

Did you somehow miss the video Ansar Allah released of seizing the glalxy leader? Did you miss the big Palestinian flag on the back of the helicopter? Did you miss the Yemeni operator announcing why they are seizing the ship?

Thats just their general movement. Not their explicit demands for the blockade.
Because they’re so trustworthy? There’s no clear connection from ships being targeted to Israel like they claim.
