Yemeni Navy to Prevent All Ships from Crossing into Israeli Ports: Statement

Yemeni Armed Forces issued on Saturday a statement which affirms that the Yemeni navy will prevent all the vessels from crossing into the Israeli-held ports if Gaza food and medicine needs are not provided.

“After the successful efforts of the Yemeni Armed Forces, with the help of Allah, in imposing its decision to prevent Israeli vessels from navigating in the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea, and due to the ongoing Zionist enemy’s heinous massacres, genocidal war, and blockade against our brothers in Gaza, the Yemeni Armed Forces declare the prohibition of passage for any vessels heading to the Zionist entity of any nationality unless they bring Gaza’s needed food and medicine. Otherwise, they will become legitimate targets for our armed forces.”

In our commitment to the safety of maritime navigation, we warn all vessels and companies against dealing with “Israeli” ports, according to the statement.

The Yemeni Armed Forces affirm their complete commitment to the continuity of international trade through the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea for all vessels and all countries, except those vessels associated with “Israel” or those transporting goods to “Israeli” ports, the statement added.
