Qatar’s Prime Minister has expressed concern that tensions in the Red Sea, specifically military strikes on Yemen, will negatively impact liquefied natural gas (LNG) shipments. He highlighted the increased exchanges with Yemen’s Huthi rebels and warned that alternative shipping routes are less efficient. Some shipping companies have already been forced to take a detour around southern Africa, disrupting global maritime trade. The premier stressed the need to address the central issue in Gaza to calm the situation in the Red Sea. The recent escalation of violence involving Iran-aligned groups in Yemen, Lebanon, Iraq, and Syria has raised fears of further spread and its global impact.
