Houthi leader says group wont permit sea passage of goods related to Israel

LBCI10-07-2025
Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi said Thursday that companies will not be allowed to transport goods linked to Israel through designated maritime areas.
He affirmed that the ban on Israeli navigation in the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, and Arabian Sea remains in place.
'Our decision to block Israeli shipping in the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, and Arabian Sea is firm, ongoing, and tied directly to the continuation of the Israeli aggression and blockade on Gaza,' al-Houthi said.
He added that the ban has never been lifted and remains in effect, with continued surveillance of shipping routes. 'The only new development is violations by certain companies,' he said.
The Houthis sank two ships this week after several months of relative calm in the region.

Her plan was discovered after she sought to acquire a rocket-propelled grenade to carry out the assassination, the prosecutor's office at the Tel Aviv district court wrote in the indictment. AFP
