CENTCOM confirmed that no Navy or commercial ships were damaged in the attack. The late Friday night drone attack was the latest in a series conducted by Yemen's Houthis against commercial and naval vessels in the Red Sea since mid-November, which the group has said is a response to Israel’s bombardment of Gaza since Oct. 7.

‘Israel in his heart’
ButtonWhy Biden ignores growing anger over the Gaza offensive
Washington has approved more than 100 separate military sales to Israel since its invasion of Gaza, amounting to thousands of precision-guided munitions, small diameter bombs, bunker busters, small arms and other lethal aid, even as officials complain Israeli leaders have not done enough to protect civilians.
Aaron Bushnell Burned Himself Alive To Make You Turn Your Eyes To Gaza
I watched the uncensored video of US airman Aaron Bushnell self-immolating in front of the Israeli embassy in Washington while screaming “Free Palestine”. I hesitated to watch it because I knew once I put it into my mind it’s there for the rest of my life, but I figured I owe him that much.
I feel like I’ve been picked up and shaken, which I suppose was pretty much what Bushnell was going for. Something to shake the world awake to the reality of what’s happening. Something to snap us out of the brainwashed and distracted stupor of western dystopia and turn our gaze to Gaza.
Biden says temporary cease-fire in Gaza could come next week
Asked on Monday when a Gaza cease-fire could start, Biden said: “I hope by the end of the weekend. ... My national security adviser tells me that we’re close — we’re close — we’re not done yet. My hope is by next Monday we’ll have a cease-fire.”
Alexei Navalny's 'far-right racist' past back in spotlight after Putin-critic's death
- "Navalny took part in the Russian March, an annual demonstration that draws ultranationalists, including some who adopt swastika-like symbols,"
- In a 2007 video Navalny appears to compare Muslim immigrants in Russia to "cockroaches" as he advocated for gun ownership.
- In another video, he is dressed as a dentist and appears to compare migrants in Moscow to tooth cavities, Radio Free Europe reports. He says: "I recommend full sanitisation. Everything in our way should be carefully but decisively be removed through deportation."
US to send weapons to Israel amid invasion threat in Gaza’s Rafah: Report
The United States is preparing to send more bombs and other weapons to Israel even as it pushes for a ceasefire in the war on Gaza and has said it opposes Tel Aviv’s plans for a ground invasion in southern Rafah where more than half the enclave’s displaced population is trapped.
Biden Says U.S. Response to Deadly Drone Strike in Jordan Has Been Decided
John F. Kirby, a National Security Council spokesman, refused to elaborate on Mr. Biden’s remarks other than to say it was “very possible” that the United States would carry out “a tiered approach” — “not just a single action, but potentially multiple actions” over a period of time.
US Flies F-16 Fighter Jets Over Bosnia in Threat to Serbs Who Want Secession
The US flew two F-16 fighter jets over Bosnia and Herzegovina on Monday as a show of force meant as a threat to Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodnik, who wants independence for the Serb-majority area of the country he controls.
Biden Sticks by Israel as Bloody War on Gaza Threatens to Expand
The future of Israel’s war on Gaza is uncertain, but the Biden administration says it will continue supporting the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), even as the horrific war divides fellow Democrats and stokes fear that the United States is being pulled into a violent regional conflagration.
Houthis launch sea drone to attack ships hours after US, allies issue final warning
An armed unmanned surface vessel launched from Houthi-controlled Yemen got within a “couple of miles” of U.S. Navy and commercial vessels in the Red Sea before detonating on Thursday, just hours after the White House and a host of partner nations issued a final warning to the Iran-backed militia group to cease the attacks or face potential military action.
US Rebukes Two Israeli Ministers Over Calls to Resettle Palestinians From Gaza Strip
The Biden administration criticized two Israeli ministers over their call to resettle Palestinians outside the Gaza Strip, a rare public rebuke that underscores deepening divisions between the US and Israel over the territory’s fate.
The Biden Administration Is Quietly Shifting Its Strategy in Ukraine
With U.S. and European aid to Ukraine now in serious jeopardy, the Biden administration and European officials are quietly shifting their focus from supporting Ukraine’s goal of total victory over Russia to improving its position in an eventual negotiation to end the war, according to a Biden administration official and a European diplomat based in Washington. Such a negotiation would likely mean giving up parts of Ukraine to Russia.
Cracks in Red Sea alliance underline US-Europe division, embarrassment of US leadership
US allies always support the US and share its stance, but that does not mean they will unlimitedly support the frenzied positions taken by the US on all issues, especially when the US' position is contrary to their own interests.
US Not Considering Leveraging Aid to Israel to Limit Civilian Casualties
Gaza’s Health Ministry has said nearly 16,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since October 7, 70% being women and children. The mass slaughter of civilians has not caused the Biden administration to rethink support for the war, and the Reuters report said the US is “stopping well short” of measures that would force Israel to listen to concerns about civilian casualties, such as restricting military aid.
There's Nothing You Can Say To Make Me Accept The Murder Of Thousands Of Children
I promise there is nothing you can say to me that will cause me to cease opposing the murder of thousands of children in Gaza. There is no name you can call me, no accusation you can scream at me, no talking point you can regurgitate at me that will ever make me shut up and accept this.
The Horrors In Gaza Are Happening Because The US Empire Wants Them To Happen
“All of our missiles, the ammunition, the precision-guided bombs, all the airplanes and bombs, it’s all from the U.S. ... “The minute they turn off the tap, you can’t keep fighting. You have no capability. … Everyone understands that we can’t fight this war without the United States. Period.” - Retired Israeli major general Yitzhak Brick
