Houthis respond to Bab al-Mandab fee plan
The Houthi movement in Yemen considers the Bab al-Mandeb Strait open for international navigation in a safe manner, except for Saudi ships, which will remain prohibited until the siege on Yemen is lifted and the people's legitimate rights are restored. Sources indicated that the Houthis are considering imposing fees on most commercial vessels passing through the strait, with the aim of normalizing this practice and increasing pressure on the United States, while exempting Chinese ships from the fees. This comes as part of the Houthis’ escalation following their July announcement of a naval blockade against Saudi Arabia and their intensified attacks on energy and supply ships in the Gulf waters.
