Tensions are rising sharply in the Red Sea region after Yemen’s Houthi movement issued a strong warning over reported Israeli activity in Somaliland and the strategic Bab-al-Mandeb Strait. On June 25, 2026, Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi warned in a televised speech that any Israeli presence or expansion in Somaliland or nearby maritime routes would be treated as a military threat. He said the group is closely monitoring developments in the Horn of Africa. The Bab-al-Mandeb Strait and Gulf of Aden are among the world’s most critical shipping routes, making the region a major geopolitical flashpoint. Reports suggest increasing diplomatic engagement between Israel and Somaliland, raising regional concerns. The Houthis also stated they would not hesitate to respond if they consider their strategic interests threatened, adding further tension to an already volatile Red Sea security situation. #Houthis #Yemen #Israel #RedSea #Somaliland #BabAlMandeb #BreakingNews #WorldNew
