Gaza escalation raises risks of further disruptions in Red Sea

The ceasefire between Israel and Hamas ended on March 18, with Israel resuming military operations in the Gaza Strip. This development heightens concerns regarding maritime security throughout the Middle East. Concurrently, the United States has renewed its military strikes against Houthi targets.

Tensions have escalated further with President Donald Trump’s recent comments, which link Houthi actions directly to Iran, threatening severe repercussions for any aggression from Tehran.
