Safin continues to deny its relationship with Israel, America and Britain for fear of targeting the Houthis. Navigational data showed more than 20 cargo ships in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden adding phrases in their statements denying their connection to Israel, Britain, and America.
About 12% of global maritime trade passes through the route where Houthis target ships, which prompted a number of shipping companies to stop their ships crossing Red Sea. In solidarity with the Gaza Strip, which is facing Israeli aggression with American support, Houthis targeted, with missiles and drones, Israeli cargo ships or those heading to Israel.
