Hamas: Sanctions on Albanese Show US Disregard for UN Institutions, Representatives
The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) on Friday considered the United States' imposition of sanctions on the UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in Palestine, Francesca Albanese, a blatant expression of the US administration's blatant bias toward Zionist war crimes.
In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba), the movement also considered it a disregard for UN institutions and their representatives, as well as for the reports they issue documenting the humanitarian catastrophe caused by the occupation in the Gaza Strip.
It stated: "The punitive measures taken by the United States against institutions and individuals carrying out their professional and moral role in the war of extermination in the Gaza Strip, the latest of whom was Albanese, are likely to undermine the foundations of international and humanitarian law and encourage the occupation's war criminal leaders to continue their brutal crimes."

Yemen : UN chief condemns latest Houthi attacks on Red Sea shipping
The UN Secretary-General issued a statement on Friday condemning the latest Houthi rebel attacks on shipping in the Red Sea off the coast of Yemen. According to news reports, the Yemen-based rebel group – which has been battling the internationally-recognised Government for control of the country since the early 2010s – attacked the Liberian-flagged, Greek-operated Eternity C on Monday and again on Tuesday, causing it to sink on Wednesday morning. Four crew members are reported to have died. With 15 crew still missing as of Friday, the group also reportedly took an unspecified number of the seafarers to what rebels described as a 'safe location.' Weekend assault This came after the Houthis launched missiles and drones at another Liberian-flagged, Greek-operated cargo ship in the Red Sea on Sunday, Magic Seas. The crew was forced to abandon ship, but all 22 members were rescued, according to reports. Since the start of the war in Gaza in October 2023, the Houthis have targeted Israeli and commercial ships in the Red Sea deemed to be en route to Israel, in solidarity with Palestinians in the enclave. In May, following US airstrikes on Houthi strongholds and missile infrastructure, the group agreed a deal with Washington to stop targeting US warships - however, they did not pledge to end attacks on other vessels allegedly linked to Israel. Strong condemnation: Guterres UN Spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric read a statement from Secretary-General António Guterres on Friday at UN Headquarters, saying the UN chief 'strongly condemns the resumption of Houthi attacks on civilian vessels transiting the Red Sea, especially the attacks that took place over 6 to 8 July 2025.' Mr. Guterres said the 'unacceptable' attacks endangered the safety and security of crewmembers, violated freedom of navigation, disrupted maritime transport, and posed serious environmental, economic, and humanitarian risks. Mr. Guterres also emphasised that international law must be respected by all parties, stressing that UN Security Council resolution 2768 related to Houthi attacks against merchant and commercial vessels must be fully respected. 'The United Nations remains committed to continuing its efforts towards broader de-escalation in the region as well as continued engagement with Yemeni, regional and international actors to secure a sustainable and peaceful resolution to the conflict in Yemen,' he concluded.

Israel Strikes Cripple Yemen's Fragmented Power System
Yemen's Houthis have burst back onto the global stage with deadly maritime attacks in the Red Sea. To weaken the Houthis, Israel has again struck key links in their energy infrastructure, weakening the country's already ailing power sector. Houthi attacks on shipping in the Red Sea have returned with a vengeance over the past week. The group attacked and sunk both the Greek-owned bulk carriers Magic Seas (IMO: 9736169) and Eternity C (IMO: 9588249), killing at least three sailors and taking multiple hostages in their first attacks in the Red Sea since December. It comes on the back of a fragile truce agreed between their ally Iran, the US, and Israel following 12 days of warfare (MEES, 27 June) and despite ongoing negotiations in Doha for a possible ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.
