Today Hamas and Yemen's Houthis announced the release of the crew of the Galaxy Leader. Hamas previously promised to have the crew released once a ceasefire could be reached in Gaza.
Today they made good on that promise.
The crew was made up of 25 Filipinos, Mexicans, Romanians, Bulgarians and Ukrainians who were all returned home by the Houthis once Hamas requested their release.
Attached: 1 video Yemen forces today released the crew of the Galaxy Leader vessel which was captured by Houthi forces last yr for enabling the genocidal state of Israel. The captive crew appeared to be in good health and spirits at the time of their release, unlike Palestinians held by Israeli forces. The Houthis held a ceremony to present the crew with souvenirs from Yemen and respectfully shock everyone man's hand and helped return them to their respective countries. #Yemen #Houthis #HouthiNavy #GalaxyLeader
Yemeni forces at the ceremony indicated that Hamas had asked for the release of the crew as an act of goodwill after the implementation of the ceasefire in Gaza and the Houthis were happy to oblige them.
As far as I've seen I do not believe this was a requirement of the Gaza deal. Hamas just requested this on their own.

Just yesterday the Yemeni Houthis held a celebration for the birth of the Prophet Mohammed aboard the Galaxy Leader.
Since the Houthi blockade started they have captured or damaged something like 80 vessels allegedly supporting trade with Israeli ports or businesses.

8 Monate sind die 25 Seemänner der Galaxy Leader jetzt Geiseln im Jemen.
Am 19.11.23 wurde das Schiff gekapert und die Seeleute entführt.
Es sind zivile Seeleute. Sie müssen freigelassen werden
Earlier this week Yemen media accounts posted footage of Eid celebrations and fireworks aboard the captured vessel Galaxy Leader.
The Israeli owned vessel was the first to be captured as part of the Houthi blockade of the red sea in a daring helicopter raid. The Houthis pledge to continue stealing, sinking or attacking vessels until the genocide in Palestine ends.

The #Philippines has been working with other governments to secure the release of the Filipino seafarers held hostage aboard the #GalaxyLeader vessel, but Yemeni #Houthis appear steadfast in their demand to allow this only once the war in #Gaza ends, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said on Tuesday, March 12. #RedSea #Israel
Houthis will only release 17 OFW hostages if war in Gaza ends

Some regard the #Houthi missiles and drones as symbolic displays of solidarity designed for a domestic Yemeni audience. However, international alarm grew on Sunday when in a sophisticated helicopter raid Houthi fighters hijacked the #GalaxyLeader. The 25-strong crew of the Japanese-managed ship, which includes 17 #Filipinos, had been on a journey from #Egypt to #India. #SaudiArabia
