>Last week the world's largest container line, AP Moller-Maersk, announced it would add an emergency risk surcharge of $50 per 20-foot container and $100 per 40- and 45-foot container to all new shipments to Israel

Every container becoming $50-$100 more expensive is extremely disruptive for any economy. Will Israel attempt to blockade ships going to Yemen in retaliation?

Why would they when the Saudis are already doing such a great job?

The blockade is blatantly ineffective when Iran can supply the Houthis with long-range ballistic missiles.
