What are the immediate consequences of the "Galaxy Leader" crew release on regional stability and global trade routes?

The Houthis released the crew of the "Galaxy Leader" after a year-long hostage situation. This release, facilitated by Hamas and Oman, was announced by the Houthi Ministry of Defense as a gesture supporting Gaza and a ceasefire agreement. The ship, carrying vehicles, was seized in November 2023, marking a shift in Houthi tactics from missile attacks to disrupting maritime trade.
