Meanwhile, in New York at the UN General Assembly, Yemeni leader Rashad Al-Alimi has called for stronger international action against Houthi threats disrupting global shipping in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. He emphasized the critical economic impact of the Houthis' attacks on oil infrastructure and called for reinforced international efforts to stabilize Yemen and safeguard its waters.
In a parallel spotlight on international issues, humanitarian groups like Action for Humanity and Avaaz illuminated the Brooklyn Bridge with pro-Palestine messages as the UN General Assembly continued.

Further east, in Japan, 88-year-old former boxer Iwao Hakamada was acquitted after spending nearly six decades on death row for a crime he did not commit.

Lastly, in New York, a Ministerial Meeting between the Gulf Cooperation Council and the United States, co-chaired by US Secretary of State Antony J.
