News - Yemen: Secretary-General of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine - General Command (PFLP-GC), Talal Naji, has praised Yemen's position in blocking Israeli navigation in support of the Palestinians in Gaza. 

"We will not forget Yemen's stance alongside Palestine by closing maritime navigation in the Red Sea, which supplies the Zionist entity with equipment, weapons, and ammunition," Naji said in a statement to the Al-Masirah network.

He pointed out that the Yemeni people have not forgotten Palestine despite years of aggression, blockade, and war led by the United States and its allies.

He extended greetings "to the Yemeni people, led by the great jihadist Sayyed Abdulmalik al-Houthi, the members of Ansarullah and the Yemeni army."

Since the onset of Zionist aggression on Gaza, the Yemeni Armed Forces have initiated three stages of escalation against the Zionist entity. It commenced with a ban on maritime navigation for the Zionist entity in the Red Sea, followed by restrictions on ships affiliated with the enemy.

As the Zionist aggression on Gaza persisted, the Armed Forces expanded their operations to include targeting enemy navigation in the Arabian Sea, extending to the Indian Ocean. This action was a response to the aggression of the US-British coalition against Yemen.

The Yemeni Armed Forces have carried out attacks on ships linked to Israel near Yemeni ports. Notably, they intercepted and seized a vessel associated with the Tel Aviv regime on November 19.

These maritime attacks have compelled some of the world's largest shipping and oil companies to suspend transit through one of the most critical maritime trade routes.

Tankers bound for Israel are now taking alternative routes, adding thousands of miles to their journey by circumnavigating the continent of Africa rather than transiting through the Suez Canal.

Last week, the Yemeni Armed Forces announced the initiation of the fourth stage of escalation by broadening the targeting scope to ships associated with the Zionist entity in the Mediterranean Sea.
