Houthis ban US, UK and Israeli-flagged ships from Middle Eastern seas

Yemen's Houthis have warned shipping insurers and firms that any ships wholly or partially owned by Israeli individuals or entities or Israel-flagged vessels are banned from the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden and Arabian Sea.

According to Reuters, statements sent to shipping from the Houthi's Humanitarian Operations Coordination Center also said ships owned by US or British individuals or entities, or sailing under their flags were now banned.
