Al-Mashat Warns Investment Companies in ‘Israel': Leave Before It's Too Late
The head of Yemen's Supreme Political Council, Mahdi al-Mashat, urged all companies investing in the Israeli occupation entity to 'take the Yemeni warning seriously,' urging them to 'leave quickly.' In statements to the Yemeni Saba News Agency on Sunday, al-Mashat warned that the environment in the Israeli occupation entity is 'unsafe' for these companies, stressing that they 'must bear the consequences of their insistence (on remaining) and be responsible for any losses they may incur.' A source in the Yemeni Ministry of Defense to Saba News Agency: – 'Foreign investors and companies operating within the Zionist entity must leave immediately; the environment will not remain safe, and it is best to do so while the opportunity still exists.' – 'Our missiles are… — The Cradle (@TheCradleMedia) June 1, 2025 This warning follows a statement from Yemen's Ministry of Defense on Saturday advising foreign investors to 'leave immediately' while 'the opportunity remains.' Al-Mashat cautioned that additional measures may be implemented in coming days, placing companies at 'real and significant risk.' He criticized Netanyahu's government for 'gambling with investor safety' and announced that Yemeni authorities would soon establish a departure deadline. The Yemeni leader also revealed that some companies have already begun relocating assets following earlier warnings. In a related development, Al-Mashat designated all Israeli military air and maritime routes as combat zones unsafe for civilian traffic. This declaration came after Israeli warplanes struck Sanaa International Airport, prompting him to warn Israeli settlers that 'bunkers will no longer be safe.' Al-Mashat stated that Yemen's armed forces can engage Israeli aircraft without disrupting international navigation. 'Our armed forces will be able to deal with the hostile Zionist aircraft without any harm to air and maritime navigation,' he said.

Normalization with Israel only possible with two-state-solution, says Lebanon PM
'I would like to see a two-state solution, Israel withdrawing from the occupied territories in exchange for peace, and that peace will lead to normalization,' said the PM. Nawaf Salam, Prime Minister of Lebanon and former President of the International Court of Justice , said in an interview with CNN in Dubai this week that his country's normalization of relations with Israel would only be possible through a two-state solution that includes the creation of a Palestinian state. 'I would like to see a two-state solution, Israel withdrawing from the occupied territories in exchange for peace, and that peace will lead to normalization . Normalization is part of the vision.' Salam also said during the interview that Israel's presence 'in parts of southern Lebanon is undermining Beirut's attempts to restore sovereignty,' and added that he would like the US to pressure Israel to withdraw from the five outposts that it established a few hundred meters from the border. 'Israeli presence in Lebanon is a red line for everyone. This is not a red line for Hezbollah alone,' he added in the interview. He previously did an interview with Sky News Arabia this week, and told the source that his government would not be cooperating closely with Iran, and said that Lebanon would only consider peace with Israel if it was 'real peace.' 'We are a peace-seeking nation, but we want a real peace. Israel is occupying territories that belong to our country,' he said. As ICJ president, Salam initially presided over South Africa's ongoing genocide case against Israel.
