News - Middle East: The European support for the Israeli genocide in Gaza, and the subsequent UK-US attacks against Yemen, have significantly impacted the European imports of refined petroleum products in the first half of January, damaging the energy security for the continent, a recent report has said.

For instance, Kuwait, a key player in the global oil market, has recently experienced a significant setback in its petrol exports to Europe with a staggering 43 percent decline, according to a recent S&P Global Commodities report.
This decrease is mainly caused by escalating pressure on ship owners to steer clear of the Red Sea, which has seen an exchange of fire between American and Yemeni forces in recent days.
The situation escalated after the US-UK Alliance carried out airstrikes on Yemen earlier this month
