Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh praised the Houthis after a new Red Sea attack by Yemeni militants damaged three Israeli and US ships. Haniyeh said countries like Yemen are exerting a powerful influence and causing the collapse of Israel’s economy. Haniya’s comments came in the wake of Houthi attacks targeting the MSC Veracruz and Maersk Yorktown in the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean.
