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