The United Nations Security Council has passed a resolution with 11 votes in favor and 4 abstentions, condemning the Houthi militia's attacks on merchant and commercial vessels in the Red Sea and demanding an immediate halt to these activities. The resolution, drafted by the United States, calls for an end to the hostilities that have seen at least two dozen attacks by the Iran-backed Houthis since mid-November. The resolution also implicitly supports the US-led task force that has been defending vessels in the region. The international community, including the United States, has condemned the Houthi actions, which are seen as undermining freedom of navigation, international commerce, and regional security. Despite the resolution's passage, the Houthis have dismissed it as a 'political game,' while China and Russia, both veto-wielding members of the council, abstained from the vote.
