Netherlands Calls for EU Sanctions Against Yemen's Houthis After Ship Attack

The Netherlands wants the EU to punish the Houthis, a group in Yemen.

This is because the Houthis attacked a Dutch ship, the Minervagracht, in the Gulf of Aden.

The attack injured sailors and caused significant damage.

The Houthis say they are attacking ships linked to Israel to support Palestinians.

The Netherlands believes these attacks pose a serious threat.

If the EU agrees, it could impose economic sanctions and freeze the group's assets, similar to how the U.S. and other countries have.

The last major attack was in July, the Houthis attacked the Lobivia container ship.
