The Houthis signaled to Israel - will we prepare in time to prevent the disaster

The "ZIM" company announced that due to the threats of the Houthis, it will route at least part of its cargo ships that arrive from the Eastern countries through a longer route around Africa. Illustration: depositphotos.com

Thus the Houthi threat may increase the pollution of cargo ships

Beyond the security and economic implications, the Houthi threat to the Red Sea may also have significant environmental consequences, which will further increase the polluting footprint of the maritime transport industry
