The Situation in Yemen amid the Escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli Conflict

Kirichenko V.P.

Abstract

The article examines the impact of the escalation of the Arab- Israeli conflict after October 7, 2023 on the situation in Yemen. The Yemeni Houthi movement, which came to power in Yemen in 2015, sided with the Palestinians. The article analyzes both the historical and religious origins of the Houthi movement. The Houthis support the creation of an independent Palestinian state. As a sign of their support, the Houthis attack ships that have ties to Israel or deliver goods to and from Israel. These actions have a negative impact on world trade.
