Original Note:
The claim that only Israeli ships were attacked by the Houthis is false - for example, "Maersk Gibraltar" attacked on 14 December 2023 is Danish. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_Red_Sea_crisis The attacks caused major shippers to divert away from Red Sea, and, as a result, traffic through Suez Canal went down 30%. https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/egypts-suez-canal-revenues-down-40-due-houthi-attacks-2024-01-11/
