News - Middle East: The Australian Broadcasting Corporation announced that the Australian Ministry of Agriculture has refrained from issuing permits for shipping livestock meat from Australia to "Israel" due to fears of attacks from Yemen.

The corporation explained that as a result of threats from Yemen, only 2,728 head of cattle were shipped to "Israel" this year, compared to more than 70,000 last year.

The Australian Broadcasting Corporation quoted the Cattle producer and WAFarmers Livestock Section president Geoff Pearson as saying the cattle were being held in three different registered premises, ready for loading.

"Given the unrest in Israel at the moment the risk assessment has to be made, and the department isn't able to give the Bahijah the go ahead to reload," he said.

The head of the livestock department explained that there is a massive want for sheep and cattle in "Israel" at the moment, confirming that red meat prices have skyrocketed and there is a severe supply shortage.

The Australian Broadcasting Corporation pointed out what it called security concerns from Yemen and the Red Sea are hindering livestock shipments from Fremantle, Australia, to the enemy entity, noting that an export ship has been waiting for four weeks to obtain a permit to sail to the entity from Fremantle.

In support of the Palestinian people, who have been subjected to a Zionist genocide for 10 months, the Yemeni Armed Forces have imposed a ban on ships linked to the entity and prevented ships from entering the entity's ports.

The Yemeni ban has led to rising prices and a lack of goods within the entity, in addition to the closure of the port of Umm Rashrash in the south of occupied Palestine, with maritime traffic there coming to a complete halt.

Israel unleashed a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip on October 7 after the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas carried out its historic operation against the occupying entity in retaliation for the regime’s intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.

So far, the Tel Aviv regime has killed more than 39,175 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured over 90,403 others.

Most of Gaza’s 2.3 million people have fled their homes, with many displaced multiple times.
