Escalating Tensions In The Red Sea – Israel At War – Jerusalem Studio

What started last November in the Bab-el-Mandab straits as a curious sideshow for the Gaza war has become a global problem. The Houthis of Yemen, with their persistent attacks on vessels of all flags and destinations, disrupted shipping to such an extent that the logistical and economic impacts around the world are significant. The U.S. Navy has managed to protect its own forces and to help ships in distress, but the maritime coalition of concerned nations is defensive in nature, while an offensive action against land-based Houthi assets and leaders is obviously lacking from the multinational toolbox. Is there a path to resolving the Red Sea crisis without resorting to more forceful measures?
