Speaking from Bahrain, the US’s top diplomat said that continued Houthi attacks represent a “clear threat” to the nations of the world, and vowed to continue to work to thwart them. Blinken decried the “hundreds of attacks” the Yemeni group has carried out on commercial ships in the Red Sea, saying that the biggest one came yesterday. He said that the attacks are “having a real-life impact on people” in the form of a rise in the price of consumer goods due to the effect they have had disrupting shipping. He also spoke of “Efforts that countries around the region are clearly prepared to make … to bring countries together to integrate the region,” adding that this would happen in a way that “provides for the security of Israel and also provides a pathway to Palestinians for a state of their own”. Blinken said that Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas agreed “to move forward and engage in some of these efforts” in a meeting earlier today.
