Egypt's Suez canal authority chief said on Sunday the authority is closely monitoring the current tensions in the Red Sea.
The authority is "closely following the consequences of current tensions in the Red Sea on the traffic in the canal," Chairman Osama Rabea said in a statement, adding that maritime traffic in the canal is normal.
Since Nov. 19, 55 ships have rerouted via the Cape of Good Hope, while 2,128 have crossed the canal in the same period, the statement added.
The Hezbollah, a well-documented terrorist group operating in Lebanon, has condemned the recent decision by the U.S. administration to reclassify Yemen’s Houthi movement as a "foreign terrorist organization."
A group of Palestinian prisoners, released under the ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel, arrived in Egypt via the Rafah border crossing on Saturday, according to Al Qahera News.
Around 153 prisoners were released by Yemen's Houthis on Saturday with support from the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), according to a statement by the ICRC.
