Despite a partial ceasefire by the Houthi group, Red Sea shipping traffic remains subdued as concerns over regional security persist.
Vessel transits through the Red Sea and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait have remained relatively stable at subdued levels since the Iran-backed Houthi s said they would limit attacks on commercial vessels. Following the Israel-Gaza ceasefire last month, the Iran-aligned Houthi s said they would limit attacks in the Red Sea to vessels linked with Israel.
The ceasefire between Hamas, another Iran-backed group, and Israel has been fragile, and this week both sides accused the other of violating the terms of the truce. The announcement of Hamas that it would delay the release of the next batch of hostages sparked reactions in Israel and in the U.S. and rekindled concerns that the truce may not hold.
