The US and its allies are trying to launch a global operation to protect ships passing through the Red Sea. The move was made in response to an increase in Houthi attacks, which prompted concerns about the safety of commercial transportation on this crucial waterway.
Following intensive conversations prompted by the recent surge in armed conflict, this multinational endeavour is expected to be formally unveiled soon. The confrontation began on October 7, when Hamas militants launched an attack in Israel, prompting Israeli reprisal in the Gaza Strip.
