The Red Sea is on Fire - about Houthi strikes on shipping in the Red Sea The Houthis have once again intensified their strikes on shipping in the Red Sea. Over the past few days, two vessels - Magic Seas and Eternity C, both flying the Liberian flag and belonging to Greek companies, have been attacked. The first bulk carrier sank after a massive attack by drones and small arms, the crew was evacuated. The second vessel was attacked on Monday - two crew members were injured, and two more are missing. 🖍 The latest Houthi attack on the Eternity C vessel demonstrates an unconventional approach for them - a prolonged battle using small arms and RPGs from small boats. This is significantly different from their previous tactics of quick strikes using drones and missiles. 🚩 The change in tactics indicates more confident behavior of the Houthis in the area previously controlled by the US aviation. Moreover, if the attack was successful, such raids may become systemic and much more frequent. 📌 The choice of a target with a Liberian flag and a Greek operator may indicate a change in priorities: strikes not only on Israeli interests, but also on members of the Western coalition supporting actions in Gaza and Yemen. The Houthis' retaliatory actions will most likely become tougher and more large-scale in a near future.

If Muhammad Sinwar was eliminated, who are the candidates to replace him? If Muhammad #Sinwar, the commander of Hamas' military wing in the Gaza Strip, was indeed killed today, there are two possible names that could replace him. The most prominent of them is Izz ad-Din Haddad (Abu Sahib). He is a member of Hamas's military council and has been the head of the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades in Gaza City since 2021, and has also been the acting commander of the Northern Brigade in the Gaza Strip since November 2023. He has escaped assassination several times. His son Sahib was killed by Israel at the beginning of this year. He is known as the "ghost of al-Qassam" because he has rarely appeared openly in recent years. In January 2025, he was interviewed on an Al Jazeera program with his face hidden and spoke about Hamas's deception plan that preceded the murderous attack of October 7. Another figure who could replace Sinwar, although less senior than Haddad, is Muhammad Shabana. He is also a member of Hamas's military council and commander of the Rafah Battalion. During the current war, several attempts were made to assassinate him, but without success.

Houthis threaten to resume attacks on Israeli ships over Gaza supplies Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi terrorists have threatened to once more attack Israeli shipping unless aid supplies to Gaza are allowed to resume, its leader said on Friday. “If the Israeli enemy continues after the first four days to prevent the entry of aid into the Gaza Strip … then we will resume our naval operations against the Israeli enemy,” Abdul-Malik al-Houthi warned in a televised address on Friday. This would mean that #Houthi attacks would restart on Tuesday. The Houthis previously carried out drone and missile strikes on shipping in the Red Sea during the Gaza war in support of the Hamas terrorist group, halting its attacks following the ceasefire that began on Jan. 19. Al-Houthi on Feb. 28 threatened to restart missile attacks on Israeli territory, warning that Tel Aviv would be in the crosshairs again if Jerusalem resumes combat against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. “If war returns to Gaza, we will rain fire upon all areas of the enemy regime [Israel], especially Tel Aviv, which is known as occupied Jaffa,” he said in a statement marking the start of Ramadan. The Israeli government announced on March 2 that it had suspended all humanitarian aid to Gaza after Hamas rejected the ceasefire extension proposed by U.S. Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff. The U.S. State Department re-designated the Houthis in Yemen as a foreign terrorist organization on March 4. The move came a little more than a month after U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order calling on the department to issue the reclassification.

A telephone conversation took place between Russian Foreign Minister Sergey #Lavrov and US Secretary of State Marco #Rubio, at the initiative of the latter. According to the official statement of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the heads of the foreign policy departments agreed to maintain a channel of communication to resolve the accumulated problems in Russian-American relations in the interests of removing the unilateral barriers to mutually beneficial trade, economic and investment cooperation inherited from the previous administration. A mutual commitment to cooperation on issues related to #Ukraine, the situation in the #Gaza Strip and the Middle East was expressed. Lavrov and Rubio agreed on regular contacts, including preparations for a Russian-American summit .

Trump Says He Could Cut Aid to Jordan and Egypt Over Gaza Development Plan 🔶️ The president turned up the pressure on the two nations to agree to his plan for them to house the Palestinian population of #Gaza and said the Palestinians would not have the right to return to the territory. 🔶️ President #Trump said on Monday that he could cut aid to #Jordan and #Egypt if they refused his demand to permanently take in most Palestinians from Gaza, substantially increasing the pressure on key allies in the region to back his audacious proposal to relocate the entire population of the territory in order to redevelop it. 🔶️ “If they don’t agree, I would conceivably withhold aid,” Mr. Trump told reporters in the Oval Office a day ahead of a meeting with King Abdullah II of Jordan. Both Jordan and Egypt have rejected any suggestion that Palestinians be relocated to their countries.

Today, people from #Gaza are saying that #Trump is right. Watching this video today, it seems as if Trump listens to every demand. One person says, "Trump, please #relocate us; I will be the first one to migrate." Please pray for those who appeared in the video, as Hamas might have kidnapped them.

Feb. 6, 2025 Statements by President Trump "The #Gaza Strip would be turned over to the United States by #Israel at the conclusion of fighting. The #Palestinians, people like Chuck Schumer, would have already been resettled in far safer and more beautiful communities, with new and modern homes, in the region. They would actually have a chance to be happy, safe, and free. The U.S., working with great development teams from all over the World, would slowly and carefully begin the construction of what would become one of the greatest and most spectacular developments of its kind on Earth. No soldiers by the U.S. would be needed! Stability for the region would reign!!!" "LOOKS LIKE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS HAVE BEEN STOLLEN AT #USAID, AND OTHER AGENCIES, MUCH OF IT GOING TO THE FAKE NEWS MEDIA AS A “PAYOFF” FOR CREATING GOOD STORIES ABOUT THE DEMOCRATS. THE LEFT WING “RAG,” KNOWN AS “POLITICO,” SEEMS TO HAVE RECEIVED $8,000,000. Did the New York Times receive money??? Who else did??? THIS COULD BE THE BIGGEST SCANDAL OF THEM ALL, PERHAPS THE BIGGEST IN HISTORY! THE #DEMOCRATS CAN’T HIDE FROM THIS ONE. TOO BIG, TOO DIRTY!"
