Following the ceasefire agreement in Gaza, Israeli-linked commercial vessels have avoided the Red Sea, with maritime sources confirming this to "Al-Akhbar". Sanaa’s Operations Coordination Center reported receiving inquiries from international shipping firms regarding Yemen's stance after the Gaza truce, with decisions to be coordinated with Palestinian resistance groups.

Trade Winds, a specialized shipping news outlet, noted that Sanaa's Operations Coordination Center confirmed via email that “Israeli-owned ships are barred from the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, and Arabian Sea until all phases of the Gaza agreement are completed”, warning of “potential maritime sanctions against any aggressor nations if Yemen is attacked”.

International shipping companies remain hesitant about resuming operations to Israeli-occupied ports via the Red Sea. Daniel Muller from the British maritime security firm Ambrey told Seatrade Maritime News that “an immediate Israeli withdrawal from Gaza is unlikely, and the ceasefire may not halt Houthi attacks on commercial shipping”, anticipating a “gradual return of vessels through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, which links Yemen with Djibouti and Eritrea.”

Hapag-Lloyd, a German shipping company, announced it is monitoring the situation and will resume operations in the Red Sea when safety is assured. A company spokesperson told Reuters that “it is too early to predict when commercial shipping might return to the Red Sea”, noting the continued risk of attacks from Yemen despite the ceasefire.

In a televised address, Abdul Malik al-Houthi, Ansar Allah leader, emphasized Yemeni military readiness and linked their actions to the ceasefire's adherence by adversaries. He framed the recent conflict as part of a continuing confrontation and revealed that support for Gaza followed Israel's attack on Al-Ahli Hospital, despite US threats. Al-Houthi confirmed that Yemeni forces “effectively halted Israeli maritime activities in the Red Sea through missile and drone operations”.

Several Houthi leaders, including Mohammed Ali al-Houthi, warned the US against retaliatory strikes, referencing the historical precedent of US retaliation against Iraq's Saddam Hussein for targeting “Israel”. Mohammed al-Bukhaiti, a political bureau member of the Houthis, emphasized Sanaa's commitment to halting military support for Gaza, stressing that “adherence to the agreement by “Israel” and its allies is essential to preventing a resurgence of military confrontations”.
