Iran could easily blockade the flow of goods into Israel from the Mediterranean side as well now.

The ships don't need to be hijacked, it's enough to hit dozens of them with kamikaze drones,

And the rest of the shipping industry will be fearful to ship there, with increased freight rates, and insurance premiums.

That is already happening now from that direction as well without any major attacks there so far.

This is a very likely scenario, Iranian-backed groups could launch it from Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, whatever, quite easily.

Closing the Red Sea route is only damaging Israel's imports from Asia, which are not much, as they get most of their goods from the Mediterranean.

The Red Sea disturbances are hurting the West in general more than it is hurting Israel, but on the Mediterranean, it would be different.

There are even some rumors that the trade could be disturbed even in Gibraltar thanks to Western Sahara which is pro-Iran, anti-US, and anti-Zionist.

However, the more likely scenario is more missiles and drones near Israel's Mediterranean shores.

U.S. struggles to revive Palestinian Authority for post-war Gaza role​

Speculation about who might succeed Abbas was rife before Oct. 7. Already deeply unpopular among Palestinians, he has seen his approval ratings drop further since the Hamas attacks, according to recent polling from the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research.
Some 88 percent of Palestinians want Abbas to resign, the poll indicated, up 10 points from three months ago. The popularity of Hamas in the West Bank, meanwhile, has soared from 12 percent to 44 percent, wile also rising slightly in Gaza
Still, the U.S. requests have rankled Ramallah. “It’s always this colonizing mentality, whereby, ‘We decide your leadership, we are the ones basically designing your strategy for the day after, we tell you how to live, we tell you how to breathe, and we tell you how to run your land,’” Saidam said.
With Hamas’s popularity on the rise, there’s little international interest in elections, even if they could be held feasibly amid the war.
“We can’t just appoint any leader,” Abu Rudeineh said. “Nobody can say to you who will be the new prime minister.”
