The only thing the Houthis got between was multiple countries and their trade with Israel. The fact that they would rather support a genocide than make money…
Do you think the Suez canal, which predates Israel’s existence by many decades, exists solely to ship to tiny-ass Israel?
The Houthis say they’re only targeting Israeli or Israel-bound ships, but that is demonstrably false. Consequently insurance rates and shipping costs went way up which is having a cascade effect on economies barely recovering from inflation. Ships having to spend weeks going around Africa to transport cargo between Europe and Asia means global shipping capacity has been reduced and everyone pays more.
Demonstrably false? COSCO is literally sailing ships through the Suez Canal today because they invalidated all Israeli shipments for boats passing through the Red Sea.
Edit: nevermind that it’s entirely a country’s jurisdiction to limit who can pass in their territorial waters. This is a fact given by international law.
Ansarallah is at war with Israel. A blockade is legal under international law if you’re at war.
Again, your only argument is that Ansarallah is not the legitimate government of Yemen because, despite having de facto control, they lack international recognition… But by extension, you also claim that the ROC is not the legitimate government of Taiwan, so I guess if that’s your position then whatever.
