it's true the houthis have continued to attack. you have to have the terrorism designation which cramps houthis financing and the diplomatic piece. it is why amount in the region every few weeks talking to the saudi's and the key regional partners whose engagement and commitment will be necessary to deescalate this. host: you reject the idea this is in response to the war in gaza and that this is somehow trying to help the people of gaza but what does bringing an end to that conflict -- wouldn't that also bring an end to the attacks on commercial ships. guest: i believe it would. the work the u.s. is doing actively, that everyone is doing to promote that cease fire is very critical to a number of other regional crises but certainly this will de-escalate. houthis have committed to de-escalating when there is a cease-fire in gaza. we have other actors telling us that they will do this. host: in the u.n., the u.s. abstained from that vote to call for a cease-fire. guest: at the end of the day if you look at our actions, israeli delega

the houthis say this is a u.s.ink ship and that is why they contacted, but the owner has sold its ownership of this vessel a week or so ago, and now it is owned under a different person, but the confusion and the different information do not matter. what matters is no one is safe traveling through the red sea. we saw another ship yesterday sinking into the waters. the original attack on that ship causing damage, and not to mention this ship that was seized at the onset of these attacks. tom: is the inevitable response to step up in terms of u.s. and u.k. attacks on those houthi positions, militants? >> the u.s. and allies response to these attacks have been calibrated to a certain point. it seems that the u.s. and those trying to defend travel in the red sea do not want to flareup or be the cause of a flareup in the region or in yemen as a whole. the houthis have become this wildcard in this conflict and they are backed by iran, and observers say they themselves have been surprised by the impact they were able to c

israel points its finger directly at the houthis. the houthis deny any involvement.on to do this is to turn the world community against the yemeni houthis, especially european countries and china. the us wants to influence china to intervene in crisis in the red sea. beijing, in their opinion , should put pressure on tehran so that it, in turn, calls on ansar allah to stop attacks in the red sea. if so, then the united states is intriguing against china, trying to anger it and drag it to its side. but the americans would not be themselves. themselves, if they also did not want to directly harm china by setting suspicion on the wrong trail. but the same model was from the northern streams. blowing up the cables will cause damage to beijing, which is what washington is trying to achieve, which seeks to encircle china and prevent him to become the main superpower in the world. well, in general, such things are happening now in the red sea around him, the americans have gotten in deep there. and one last thing. after the united states, with the highest degree of probabil

internet, please repeat. the question was, i just didn't say it, about the fact that yesterday the houthis critically damaged four cables, yesterday there were also failures with social networks, at the moment we don't know for sure whether it was related to this factor, but i would like to understand four out of 15 cables that pass through the red sea were damaged, how critical is this number to provide internet to our planet? look, well, first of all, it's worth it to say that there is no connection, simply because these cables that were damaged in the red sea and, well, in general those cables that are in the red sea-15, they connect the european continent with asia, in the first place in turn, and partly with africa, our data is found on digital platforms such as facebook, instagram, and on the absolute majority of digital platforms that we use, they are processed. in the states, or on the european continent, in the red sea, there is no direct influence it can’t come together, there, the only thing is that when such a cable, through which a large part of the world’s traffic is damaged,
