European Effort to Safeguard Red Sea Navigation

The European Union's High Representative for Foreign Affairs, Catherine de Calaș, announced an increase in the readiness level of the "Aspidis" naval mission ships to protect freedom of navigation in the Red Sea from Houthi attacks. This follows attacks on Saudi Arabia that were deemed to undermine the global economy. The "Aspidis" mission, launched in February 2024, continues to protect merchant ships from Houthi threats. Italy has called for strengthening naval presence in the region, particularly in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, to counter deteriorating conditions and delays in European response, as about 40% of Italy's trade passes through the Red Sea and the Suez Canal.
