Bab al-Mandab Tensions Hit Suez Navigation
Journalist Ashraf Abu El-Hol described the tense situation in the Bab El-Mandeb Strait as having a significant impact on navigation through the Suez Canal, especially given the narrow width of the passage, which does not exceed three kilometers and through which many islands, such as Myeon Island, are located. He pointed out that closing the strait could completely halt maritime traffic, causing serious harm to the Egyptian economy. Egypt previously took measures during the October War by reaching an agreement with Yemen to close the strait to Israeli ships. He warned that the risk of coastal occupations and threats to shipping routes pose a danger to all. Emphasizing Egypt's efforts to communicate with all parties to resolve the crisis of the Bab El-Mandeb closure, he highlighted that this could threaten vital interests, especially since the Houthis have stated that closing the strait is linked to military strikes against Iran.
