دَعَا الْأَمِينُ الْعَامُّ لِلْأُمَمِ الْمُتَّحِدَةِ، فِي الرَّابِعِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ مِنْ يُولْيُو، إِلَى خَفْضِ التَّصْعِيدِ فِي الْبَحْرِ الْأَحْمَرِ. وَجَاءَتْ دَعْوَتُهُ بَعْدَ اسْتِئْنَافِ الْحُوثِيِّينَ هَجَمَاتٍ عَلَى سُفُنٍ تِجَارِيَّةٍ تَعْبُرُ الْمِنْطَقَةَ.
وَقَالَتِ الْأُمَمُ الْمُتَّحِدَةُ إِنَّ الْهَجَمَاتِ الَّتِي أَعْلَنَ الْحُوثِيُّونَ مَسْؤُولِيَّتَهُمْ عَنْهَا قَدْ تَزِيدُ التَّوَتُّرَ الْإِقْلِيمِيَّ. كَمَا يُمْكِنُ أَنْ تَدْفَعَ الْيَمَنَ نَحْوَ صِرَاعٍ أَوْسَعَ، وَأَنْ تُسَبِّبَ عَوَاقِبَ إِنْسَانِيَّةً وَاقْتِصَادِيَّةً وَبِيئِيَّةً خَطِيرَةً.
وَتَسْعَى الْأُمَمُ الْمُتَّحِدَةُ إِلَى حِمَايَةِ الْمَكَاسِبِ الَّتِي حَقَّقَتْهَا هُدْنَةُ عَامِ أَلْفَيْنِ وَاثْنَيْنِ وَعِشْرِينَ فِي الْيَمَنِ. وَتَرَى أَنَّ الْمُفَاوَضَاتِ مَا زَالَتْ مُمْكِنَةً لِمُعَالَجَةِ الْمُشْكِلَاتِ السِّيَاسِيَّةِ وَالِاقْتِصَادِيَّةِ وَالْأَمْنِيَّةِ، وَلِلْوُصُولِ إِلَى سَلَامٍ أَكْثَرَ اسْتِقْرَارًا.
مِنْ جِهَتِهَا، أَدَانَتِ الْمُنَظَّمَةُ الْبَحْرِيَّةُ الدَّوْلِيَّةُ الْهَجَمَاتِ، وَأَكَّدَتْ أَنَّ الْبَحْرَ الْأَحْمَرَ مَمَرٌّ مُهِمٌّ لِلتِّجَارَةِ الدَّوْلِيَّةِ. وَطَلَبَتْ مِنْ شَرِكَاتِ الشَّحْنِ تَقْيِيمَ الْمَخَاطِرِ بِدِقَّةٍ قَبْلَ الْعُبُورِ، لِحِمَايَةِ الْبَحَّارِينَ وَسَلَاسِلِ الْإِمْدَادِ وَالْبِيئَةِ الْبَحْرِيَّةِ.

UN Calls for De-escalation in the Red Sea
On July 24, the UN secretary-general called for de-escalation in the Red Sea. His call came after the Houthis resumed attacks on commercial vessels crossing the region.
The United Nations said the attacks for which the Houthis claimed responsibility could increase regional tension. They could also draw Yemen into a wider conflict and cause serious humanitarian, economic, and environmental consequences.
The United Nations is seeking to protect the gains achieved by Yemen’s 2022 truce. It believes negotiations are still possible to address political, economic, and security problems and to achieve more stable peace.
For its part, the International Maritime Organization condemned the attacks and stressed that the Red Sea is an important corridor for international trade. It asked shipping companies to assess risks carefully before crossing, in order to protect seafarers, supply chains, and the marine environment.
