| Houthis say they’ll keep targeting Israel-affiliated vessels in Red Sea for now, end other attacks on ships |

| [IsraelTimes] Yemen’s Houthi rebels signal that they will end their attacks on vessels in the Red Sea shipping corridor, with the exception of Israeli-affiliated ships, which the group says it will continue to target for the time being. The Iran-backed group announces its decision through its Humanitarian Operations Coordination Center, saying that in light of the ceasefire-hostage deal between Israel and Hamas, it was “stopping sanctions” on other vessels it has regularly targeted since November 2023. For Israeli ships, it says that the “sanctions” will only end “upon the full implementation of all phases” of the ceasefire deal in Gaza. Such noble generosity, to be sure. Not that they bother to differentiate between Israeli and non-Israeli shios when something floats into their sights. The Houthis will also deliver a military statement later today, likely about the decision. |

| #2 I think they import khat by boat. Blockade all the weapons and khat shipments. Declare khat a narcotic. See where we are at after a month. |

| #1 Somehow, I think DJT’s fun meter is just about done with these (insert your favorite word here) and will not be surprised if he directs the Navy to initiate a ‘stock rotation,’ and dispose of bombs, based on their pull date. |
