The Houthis start banning the ships of Israel, Hamas and Jihad, welcome news
The leader of the Ansar Allah group (the Houthis), Abd al -Malik al -Houthi, announced that the group’s decision to ban the navigation of Israeli ships entered into force, while the Palestinian resistance welcomed this step.
Al -Houthi said in a televised speech, this evening, Wednesday, that “the decision to ban the navigation of the enemy’s ships in the Red Sea, Bab al -Mandab, the Gulf of Aden and the Arabian Sea entered into force,” stressing that “any Israeli ship will be targeted that crosses the declared operations area.”
He added that “preventing the enemy to introduce aid to Gaza and close the crossings aims to starve the Palestinian people in the Strip.”
For his part, Nasruddin Amer, Vice -President of the Ansar Allah group, said that the announcement of the resumption of operations against Israeli ships aims to support the Palestinian resistance and force the Israeli occupation to lift the siege on the Gaza Strip and return to the ceasefire agreement.
Amer said – in statements to Al -Jazeera Net – that “the Israeli enemy imposed a new siege on the Gaza Strip and violated the ceasefire agreement that he previously signed in order to pressure the resistance to restore his captives without completing the agreement, and also to achieve its great goal, which is the displacement of the Palestinian people.”
He added that this coincides with a “round of negotiations and consultations between the Palestinian resistance and the Israeli party,” noting that “our announcement is support for the resistance and its negotiations to return to the agreement and adhere to it.”
He explained that “the goal of the operations is to ultimately pressure the siege. As for the actual operations, we have not yet monitored any Israeli ship that passes through the sea, and will never pass.” Amer stressed that any Israeli ship that is monitored will be targeted directly.
The military spokesman for the group, Yahya Sari, announced in a video statement on Tuesday evening that they decided to “resume the ban on the crossing of all Israeli ships in the area specified in the Red and Arab Bahrain, Bab al -Mandab and the Gulf of Aden.”
Sari explained that this comes after the end of the deadline granted by the leader of the group, Abdul -Malik Al -Houthi, to the mediators “to push the Israeli enemy and pressure him to reopen the crossings and introduce aid to the Gaza Strip.”
Palestinian welcome
For its part, the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) said in a statement today, Wednesday, that this declaration “expresses the original position of the Yemeni people and its leadership, and the real commitment to support and support the Yemeni people to our Palestinian people and its resistance, as it constitutes real pressure to break the unjust siege imposed on the Gaza Strip.”
The movement called “the peoples of the nation and the free world to escalate active moves to pressure the Zionist occupation and its supporters, until the end of the aggression and the lifting of the siege on Gaza.”
In turn, the Islamic Jihad movement praised the decision of the Ansar Allah group, which it described as “a bold step aimed at pressuring the entity and its sponsors in order to reopen the crossings and introduce aid to the besieged Gaza Strip.”

The movement said in a statement that this position “expresses the originality and courage of the Yemeni people in supporting our people in the Gaza Strip and its support for the cause and resistance of our Palestinian people, and confirms the unity of the situation against occupation and injustice.”
On the other hand, the Israeli Foreign Minister, Gahoun Sa’is, attacked the Ansar Allah group, and said – during a meeting with his Ethiopian counterpart, Gaza, Timotius in Jerusalem, that they pose a “serious threat”, regionally and globally.
With the end of the first phase of the ceasefire and the exchange of prisoners, Israel refrained from entering into negotiations on the second stage, contrary to the provisions of the agreement, as the crossings were closed and the aid was prevented from entering the Gaza Strip and threatened to resume the war.
