It is unknown as to who exactly hijacked the ship, but the US are investigating and believe that it could be the Houthi (\u201cterrorist\u201d group), Somalians, or pirates. The Houthis are the most likely suspects as they have carried out a series of raids in this region before and still do it today. Multiple of these raids have seized ships that are linked to Israel. They also have fired several attacks on Israel in the midst of the Israel Palestine war. This group has grown into a strong force the past few years and have gained control over multiple swathes yemen.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I think that this is another common story around the Middle East and the African area. In this article you read about another potential terrorist organization coming into power by violent attacks\/threats. I say that this is common because how many times before have we seen groups like the Taliban, Hamas, Al Qaeda, and etc launch attacks causing destruction and disruption around the world. In my opinion it is unclear to see what will unfold and how \u201cpopular\u201d the Houthis will become because it depends on how global powers act towards these groups. If no one intervenes, similar to the US in the Middle East right now, it is very likely to see the Houthis join Hamas and take down Israel. Palestine could become the more dominant power in this region, but this could take years before it starts to happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After reading this article, I would compare this to the realist perspective. The realist point of view sees mankind as self centered and competitive. The Houthis are definitely acting competitive and self centered by seizing ships for their own interest since there is no clear evidence of other intent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Link To Article: https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2023\/11\/27\/us-says-somali-pirates-likely-behind-attempted-tanker-seizure-near-yemen&nbsp; Near Yemen, a cargo ship connected to Israel was hijacked.
