The US said it would consider revoking its recent designation of Yemen’s Houthis as terrorists if the Iran-backed militants cease their shipping attacks in and around the Red Sea.
the port of eilat accounted for 3% of the total shipping before october 7th and they got the land corridor through saudi arabia and jordan replacing that pretty immediately. at this point it’s just imperial arrogance.
it’s clear that nothing will be able to stop imperialism but violance.
Even if that port doesn’t matter the blockade is still taking the colonialist entity from being along the route between Asia and Europe to being at the tail end of a new and much longer route with smaller throughput.
Are there as many ships going there now that ships are in smaller supply and the nearby countries could all be served by Chinese/Russian or even their own ships going straight through the Suez? I don’t know the numbers exactly but I doubt it’s something they can just brush off.

You mean the Hasbara land bridge?
ok, i digress. it was still just 3% of total shipping. it’s nothing.
Eilat is just one port. The point was never to disrupt just its shipping, but all shipping to and from isn’treal.
