“Confirming the readiness of the Yemeni naval operations, whose mission is to confront the Israeli American starvation and terrorist siege of Gaza,” senior Ansar Allah member Mohamed Ali Al-Houthi posted in an Arabic statement on X.
“Any escalation will be the responsibility of the Israeli and American enemies.”
This follows a four-day deadline declared Friday by Ansar Allah leader Houthi for Israel to lift its blockade on humanitarian aid entry to Gaza or face maritime threats. Israel has blocked aid entry and halted electricity supply to Gaza, putting pressure on Hamas over negotiations.
Most of the world agrees with the ICC but who’s stopping shipments and suffering the ire of the US empire for their troubles?
To your other point about targeting and trade, they have exclusively targeted shipping that is owned by or going to Israel or entities associated with Israel. The reason why you’re not seeing shipping is because the insurance companies don’t want anything to do with it and that is what is stopping trade through the Suez, not any kind of “sloppy Houthi targeting”.
