In this episode of his "Thinking Out Loud" series, Double D examines how the attacks by Houthi rebels in the Bab el-Mandeb straight has resulted in multiple shipping corporations ceasing trade in the Red Sea. He also shows solidarity from other countries which are banning Israeli flagged ships from port. Double D goes on to analyze the U.S. response to the Yemeni resistance, outlining the creation of a coalition fleet, named "Operation Prosperity Guardian", tasked with providing security in the Red Sea. Moving on, Double D examines new diplomatic trends in the region, with Hamas leader Ismail Haliyeh talking with leaders in Cairo, while Israeli officials link with U.S. and Qatari officials in talks centered around a potential ceasefire. Ending the video, Double D dissects the escalation in Lebanon, and how the IDF may still have a vested interest in turning the regional war in to a larger conflagration. Double D ruminates on how diplomatic efforts to bring the conflict to an end are racing against the hour glass of irreversible escalation and wider regional devastation.
