On 14 March 2025, protesters held a large Houthi-sponsored protest in Al Jabin (Al Jabin, Raymah) in solidarity with the Palestinian people, and with Houthi actions against the 'Zionist enemy' in the context of the latest round of violence in Israel-Palestine, and denouncing the 'crimes' against the civilians by the new regime in Syria.

Supply-chain Risk Briefing

1) Summary On March 14, 2025, a large-scale Houthi-backed demonstration occurred in Al-Jabin, Rayma Governorate, Yemen, aimed at Palestinian solidarity and condemnation of Syria's new regime. Classified as a peaceful protest, immediate supply-chain threats are limited, but it demonstrates the organizational mobilization capacity of Houthi forces.

2) Supply-chain impact

• While the inland Yemen protest has no direct maritime transport impact, strengthened Houthi unity raises the possibility of future Red Sea shipping threats
• Concerns over indirect impact on overland logistics via neighboring Saudi Arabia and Oman if Middle Eastern regional instability spreads
• Yemen's humanitarian supply chains remain in continued unstable condition, with expected disruptions to international relief operations

3) Watch points

• Whether Houthi forces plan additional large-scale rallies and expansion of military actions targeting Red Sea shipping routes
• Possibility of renewed clashes between Yemeni government forces and Houthis, and security conditions at regional oil and LNG facilities
