Ansar Allah : navigation in the Red Sea will remain safe for all ships, except Israeli ships
Yemen's Ansar Allah movement reaffirmed its position on banning the passage of Israeli ships through the Red Sea. This is what the deputy foreign minister of the government of Sanaa Hussein al-Ezi said.
Al-Ezi said :
"Of course, Sanaa is more interested in the safety of navigation and more respectful of the interests of the world, which we have proven in practice in the past."
He also recalled that navigation in the Red Sea will be safe for all ships, with the exception of those of « the Israeli criminal state » until its aggression against civilians and children in the « Gaza offended » ceases. The Israeli media have recognized that Yemen constitutes a strategic threat to Israel due to its geographic location.
Former head of the Israeli National Security Council, Giora Island, said that "our problem with the Yemenis is their location in a narrow part of the Red Sea, to the south, and it's a bigger problem than missile problem".
Island also expressed concern that if Yemenis decide to stop all Israeli ships, they will, this would raise questions about the ability to continue sailing from the Red Sea to Eilat.
Sanaa's deputy prime minister for defence and security affairs, Jalal al-Ruwaishan, had previously spoken of a truce in the Gaza Strip, saying :
"The truce concerns Gaza and the military representative announced that our decision to close the Red Sea to the enemy was still in effect."
On the 19th of this month, the Yemeni navy managed to stop an Israeli ship in the Red Sea with 52 people on board. At the same time, Yemeni forces reaffirmed that « their operations will target vessels flying the Israeli flag, operated by Israeli companies or belonging to Israelis ».
