The Trump Administration has announced a ceasefire deal with the Houthis to end the 1 & 1/2 year Red Sea Crisis, which saw the coast of Yemen used as a launchpad for terrorist attacks on maritime shipping. This deal does not apply to Israeli freight, but it is nonetheless a major step toward stabilizing global trade.

Discuss.

So Israel ships are then still going to be bombed?

Given that Yemen is 7 times bigger than Israel, the odds are not in Israel's favor here. And now with USA stepping aside, this is great victory for Yemen. The main goal was to hurt Israel, and now that goal is easier to achieve in greater amount there. If USA kept bombing Yemen, would have been harder to hurt Israel.

Very accurate conclusion.
