Houthis condemn Gaza’s “Israeli-American siege.”
A top Houthi leader demanded that the UN Security Council step in and put an end to the conflict in Gaza. The Houthi supreme revolutionary committee chief in Yemen, Mohammed Ali al-Houthi, responded to the UNSC's demand that the armed group immediately cease its attacks on ships in the Red Sea. He declared, "We demand the immediate release of 2.3 million people from the Israeli-American siege in Gaza by the Security Council." On Wednesday, the UNSC subtly supported a US-led task force that has been defending ships amid rising hostilities over attacks along one of the world's busiest trade lanes. The council was informed by US ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield that "there will be consequences if the Houthi attacks continue."

According to the top US ambassador, the US government is concentrating on stopping "an explosion" in the occupied West Bank, where the region has reached a breaking point due to almost daily Israeli military assaults. Speaking just before he boarded a plane to leave Egypt following a meeting with President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, Antony Blinken urged Israel to cooperate with the region to support a roadmap to Palestinian statehood, arguing that this is the most effective strategy to resist the influence of Iran.

Israel’s ongoing conflict in Gaza: Attacks get more intense as the health system collapses
According to UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric, just 25% of the 5,000 beds needed to address trauma and emergency needs in Gaza are accessible. South Africa's case against Israel for allegedly committing genocide in Gaza is being heard by the International Court of Justice.
