Yemen's Houthis Escalate Attacks, Raising Fears of New Conflict

Yemenis fear that recent Houthi attacks on ships in the Red Sea, which they claim are aimed at pressuring Israel to end the war on Gaza, could escalate into a new conflict. The attacks have triggered a multinational maritime task force involving 10 navies aimed at securing the Red Sea. While some Yemenis support the Houthi intervention in the war on Gaza, others worry about the consequences for their country, including potential economic and humanitarian troubles. The Houthi defiance and continued attacks could impede the peace process in Yemen.
