Snip:

The southern Israeli port of Eilat is set to shut down completely in the coming days, due to massive debts and paralysis caused by Yemen’s pro-Palestine naval blockade on Israel.

The Israeli Ports and Shipping Authority said on 16 July that Eilat Port will suspend all its operations starting on 20 July.

Hebrew media reports described the situation as a “dramatic step” that could undermine Israeli maritime logistics in the Red Sea, and referred to the port as “debt ridden.”

Specifically, the closure could halt logistical support for the Israeli navy, which has used the port’s facilities since the start of the war in Gaza.

Very interesting that the insurance companies don't even know if they can insure any ships even indirectly related to israel. How will the US spin a re-entry into this if they choose to I wonder.
