context_page_description: The Hanish Islands are an island group in the Red Sea. Most of them are a part of Yemen, but before 1998 they were claimed by Eritrea as well. After a case in an international court under the guidance of Abdul Karim al-Iryani, Yemen was granted full ownership of the larger Islands, and Eritrea was awarded the peripheral islands to the southwest.
  The three largest islands are Jabal Zuqar to the north, Al-anīsh al-Kabīr to the south, with the much smaller Al-anīsh al-Ṣaghīr in between.
