      Why? It’s not like terrorist attacks on ships hurts Israel to any significant degree. It’s hurting Yemen more, in practice.

        The fact that the US is pissed off to the point of considering this means it’s working.

        And why wouldn’t it? It’s directly stopping ships from supplying israel, and israel gets most of its imports from ships.

          You’re half right, in that it prevents shipments to the Red Sea port of Eilat. The problem is that that is not where most of Israel’s cargo flows through. Most of its cargo is brought in through ports along the Mediterranean Sea in the north. If that’s the aim, they’re failing.

    Why bother when the US will just re-label them terrorists 5 minutes later?

      An opinion that can only be had by someone that doesn’t view 100k Palestinians as human or civilians.

      Ansarallahs sanctions against Israel have so far been some of the most effective anti genocide measures taken. The only other contender is Hezbollah achieving SEAD against Israel along the northern border.
