Any Israeli Ship That Passes Through the Declared Operational Zone Will Be Targeted – Jamal Ahmed
The Yemeni Armed Forces have reaffirmed their commitment to blocking all Israeli-linked ships from passing through strategic waterways until the administration of the Prime Minister of the State of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu lifts its siege on Gaza and allows humanitarian aid to flow into the war-ravaged territory.
According to the Iran News Agency, Yemen’s Foreign Minister, Jamal Ahmed Ali Amer had officially informed the United Nations and multiple global organizations of the country’s decision to block all Israeli-linked ships from passing through strategic waterways until the administration of the Prime Minister of the State of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu lifts its siege on Gaza and allows humanitarian aid to flow into the war-ravaged territory.
Jamal Ahmed Ali Amer in an open letter sent to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, the Security Council, the Arab League, the European Union, and other international bodies outlining Yemen’s stance wrote “Given the inconsistency of the Israeli regime and the lack of progress in the negotiations in Doha, this ban came into effect on Tuesday night (March 11, 2025). Any Israeli ship that passes through the declared operational zone, including the Red Sea, the Arabian Sea, the Bab al-Mandab Strait, and the Gulf of Aden will be targeted. The ban will continue until Gaza crossings are reopened and humanitarian aid is allowed to enter the besieged Palestinian territory.”
It was learned that the decision of the Yemeni Government to ban all Israeli-linked ships from passing through strategic waterways came after the administration of the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu failed to honor the recently implemented Gaza ceasefire, and hostage exchange deal between the Israeli regime, and the Palestinian nationalist Sunni Islamist political organization, which is known as Hamas that led to the released of about thirty Israeli hostages in exchange of more than two thousand Palestinian prisoners.
