The Houthis from Yemen and Hezbollah. They are risking their lives for a ceasefire 

They have their own agendas.

Hezbollah has an ongoing 'dispute' with Israel over the Golan Heights and the Shebaa farms which Israel invaded in the past

In 1978 Israel invaded and occupied Southern Lebanon, and in 1981, the Golan Heights, including the Shebaa Farms, were annexed by Israel, a move only recognized by the United States.^[2] Israel considers it part of the Golan Heights continues to hold it, along with the Golan, under military occupation.^[3]

The houthis have been fighting over control of Yemen (or liberation of Yemen as they call it) for decades and have seized this opportunity to expand their influence.

With the current support and attacks the Houthis may expand their support base across Yemen and the Arab world. Additionally, it is believed the group is hoping to sabotage the Saudi normalization with Israel, which had been in the works.

Saudi Arabia and UAE have been the opposition to the Houthis. It has been a long bloody conflict, civil war in Yemen influenced by the long standing proxy war in the Iran - Saudi Arabia conflict over influence over the Middle East.

I don't think what they're doing is effective in helping Gaza. It's more fuel for distractions from the ongoing genocide, gives more legitimacy to Israel to keep the war cabinet going, and gives the US-UK an opportunity to (mis)direct the issues to Red Sea shipping. Also gives the US an excuse to focus on containing the conflict rather than having to deal with what goes on in Gaza and the West Bank. Israel is US' pawn in the Middle East to keep control of the area. The more regional instability the more the US will stick with Israel.

Regardless of the agenda how do you not think what they are doing is not helping Gaza is insane. They are disrupting world trade until there is a cease fire and making the war a bigger conflict which America doesn't want that puts huge pressure to end the war, and it's cost America billions.
