Mohammed Ali al-Houthi (head of the Houthi Supreme Revolutionary Committee) — Twitter post, 8 Jan 2024 (per Seatrade Maritime): the Red Sea maritime doctrine — ships that announce "We have no relationship with Israel" get safe passage; "This step does not require militarizing the Red Sea and will not harm international navigation."

We have no relationship with Israel

This step does not require militarizing the Red Sea and will not harm international navigation

[Source is English (Seatrade Maritime, a reputable maritime-industry outlet, reproducing his 8 January 2024 Twitter post); tier-2, confirmed verbatim against the fetched page. The first quote is the declaration al-Houthi says ships should announce to receive safe passage; the second is his statement about the policy. As reproduced by Seatrade in English (Houthi officials post in both Arabic and English).] Declared position of Mohammed Ali al-Houthi — head of the Houthi (Ansar Allah) Supreme Revolutionary Committee and one of the movement's most prolific public/political voices. Setting out the Houthi RED SEA MARITIME DOCTRINE during their 2023–2025 campaign against shipping (launched in solidarity with Gaza after October 2023): the Houthis would let ships pass safely through the Red Sea, Arabian Sea and Bab al-Mandab strait if they declare "We have no relationship with Israel" — i.e. the campaign is framed as SELECTIVELY targeting Israel-linked vessels, not all shipping — and he insists "this step does not require militarizing the Red Sea and will not harm international navigation." (Western governments and the UN Security Council rejected this, calling the attacks a threat to global trade and freedom of navigation; al-Houthi separately dismissed the UN resolution as a "political game.") This is the HOUTHI / "AXIS OF RESISTANCE" MARITIME-PRESSURE pole — leveraging the Bab al-Mandab chokepoint as a coercive tool against Israel and its allies in the name of Gaza, distinct from the internationally-recognized Yemeni government (Rashad al-Alimi) and the southern secessionists (al-Zoubaidi), and complementing Abdul-Malik al-Houthi already in the dataset. [Axes: Israel/Palestine-stance (armed solidarity with Gaza; targeting Israel-linked shipping), west-alignment (anti-US/UK; defiance of the UN Security Council), regional-axis (the Iran-led "axis of resistance"), sovereignty/security (control of the Bab al-Mandab; maritime coercion).]
