International Coalition Condemns Houthi Attacks in Red Sea and Discusses Gaza Developments

The United States, European Union, NATO, and a group representing 44 Allies and partner nations have issued a joint statement condemning the Houthi attacks in the Red Sea and their interference with navigational rights and freedoms. The attacks, including the recent seizure of the Galaxy Leader and detention of its crew, pose a threat to international commerce, maritime security, and the movement of essential commodities. The undersigned urge all states to refrain from supporting the Houthis and call for the immediate release of the Galaxy Leader crew, as well as an end to further attacks on commercial vessels in the region.
