News - Yemen: Member of the National Delegation, Abdulmalik Al-Ejri, has clarified that the British stance regarding Yemen's naval operations aligns with that of the United States, emphasizing that this alignment is not a recent development.

He elucidated that the American options in the Red Sea are restricted due to their acknowledgment of being entangled in a moral predicament arising from the egregious crimes in Gaza. Additionally, there is international concern about the escalation of the conflict.

Al-Ejri highlighted that the recent warning issued by Britain aims to impede Yemeni army operations. Nonetheless, Yemen's response affirms its steadfast position, which will only alter if there are shifts in the stances of Israel, the United States, and Britain concerning Gaza.

Furthermore, the National Delegation member noted that both China and Russia do not view the ongoing operations in the Red Sea independently from the unfolding events in Gaza.

Since the Israeli regime's relentless military campaign against Gaza commenced in early October, the Yemenis have openly declared their support for Palestine's struggle against the Israeli occupation.

On Thursday, British Foreign Secretary David Cameron said that Yemen's Armed Forces missile and drone attacks against ships en route to Israeli ports have to stop otherwise international action will be taken.

12 countries led by the United States issued a joint statement on Wednesday warning that there would be consequences to any further attacks.

Signatories of the statement include Germany, Japan and the UK. The only country from the Middle East to have signed the statement is Bahrain, which hosts the US Fifth Naval Fleet. The UAE and Saudi Arabia are the conspicuous absentees, weary, perhaps, of potential repercussions of getting on the wrong side after their nine-year failure in war against Yemen.

“The Yemeni Armed Forces warn the American enemy or any other party that any aggression will not go unanswered or unpunished,” said the Yemeni Armed Forces spokesman Yahya Sare'e in a televised briefing Wednesday, reiterating Yemen's will to target Israel-bound vessels until “necessary supplies of food and medicine” are delivered to the people besieged in Gaza.
