Agence France-Presse quoted Palestinian sources as saying that a “rare meeting” was held last week between leaders of the Palestinian resistance factions and the Ansar Allah group (Houthis) The meeting discussed “mechanisms for coordinating resistance actions” against Israel. Since last November 19, the Houthis have been targeting commercial ships in the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea which they say are linked to Israel or heading to its ports.
The Houthis place their attacks within the framework of supporting the Gaza Strip, which has been subjected to brutal Israeli aggression since October 7.
