/ A member of the Houthi Political Council, Muhammad Ali Al-Houthi, called on international shipping companies to announce the phrase “We have no relationship with Israel” for every ship crossing the Red Sea or Bab al-Mandab.
Al-Houthi said: “Our message to the ministries of transport in all countries and to the international shipping companies transporting through the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea and those passing through Bab al-Mandab is an easy step that protects you from blackmailing America and Britain by paying the costs of shipping insurance, which is to announce the introductory sentence – We have no relationship with Israel – for every ship when it passes. The Red Sea, Bab al-Mandab, or the Arabian Sea.
He added: “And to the brothers in the Yemeni Ministry of Defense, if the ships publicize this sentence and then deceive themselves and head to the ports of the occupied Palestinian territories to supply the entity, then put them on the blacklist and they will fall into your hands when they cross the next time, God willing.”
Al-Houthi stressed, “This is a simple and inexpensive solution that will not incur any financial costs for any company. This step does not require the militarization of the Red Sea and will not harm international navigation. We reaffirm that what the armed forces are doing is in order to stop the criminal Israeli terrorist aggression and lift the siege on the Gaza Strip.” “.
He stressed that “those Americans, Britons or others who stand in the way of our ban on Israeli ships heading to the occupied Palestinian territories are doing so in implementation of the Israeli request and to protect them so that the entity continues to commit racist genocide in Gaza, and their position is a position to reinforce crime and terrorism against two million and three hundred people.” A thousand people in Gaza at the same time.”
Ng companies is clear: if they want to ensure the safety of their vessels, they must openly declare that they have no ties to Israel.”
He emphasized that such a declaration will protect ships from potential threats in the region, which remains tense due to ongoing conflicts and political instability. The call comes amid heightened tensions surrounding Israel and its relationships in the Middle East, and reflects the Houthis’ stance on the influence of Israeli policies in regional affairs.
Al-Houthi’s statements are part of a broader narrative regarding the importance of maritime security in the Red Sea, a crucial waterway for global shipping. The Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab strait are essential routes for trading and transportation, and any disruptions could have significant implications for international trade.
Shipping companies have been advised to heed these warnings as geopolitical dynamics continue to evolve in the region.
