Germany and its European Union partners are discussing whether to mount a new maritime mission in the Red Sea to protect commercial vessels under threat of attack.
The discussion comes in response to increased attacks by Yemen's Houthi militia on Israel-bound and Israel-linked commercial vessels in the Red Sea. The Houthis have attacked or seized a dozen ships with missiles and drones since Nov. 19.
