PNN – Referring to the seizure of the Zionist ship by Yemeni army fighters, economic analysts emphasized that the business of the Zionist regime will no longer be safe in the shadow of continued attacks and aggression against the Gaza Strip.
According to Pakistan News Network, in the shadow of the continued aggression of the Zionist regime against the Gaza Strip and the seizure of the Zionist ship by the Yemeni armed forces, which is an important development and can be noisy in the issue of international trade, including oil, the Bab al-Mandab Strait, Yemen’s strategic passage has become the center of events in the region.
In a statement about the details of the seizure of the Zionist regime’s ship in the Red Sea, the Yemeni armed forces emphasized that all the ships of this regime, as well as the ships interacting with Tel Aviv, are legitimate targets of the Yemeni armed forces.
Brigadier General Yahya Saree, the official spokesman of the Yemeni Armed Forces, said: In line with the implementation of the orders of Seyyed Abdul Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, the leader of the Yemeni revolution, and in response to the demands of the great nation of Yemen and all the free people of the nation, and based on the religious, human and moral responsibility towards the Palestinian nation, the Navy of the Yemeni Armed Forces conducted military operations in the Red Sea.
Yahya Saari continued: The Yemeni armed forces warn all ships belonging to the Israeli enemy or ships interacting with it, that they will become a legitimate target of our armed forces.
He noted: The Yemeni armed forces ask all countries whose nationals are working in the Red Sea to refrain from any work and activities with Israeli ships or ships belonging to Israelis.

Yahya Saari continued: The Yemeni armed forces emphasize that until the end of the encroachment on the Gaza Strip and the continuation of heinous crimes against our Palestinian brothers in Gaza and the West Bank, we will continue our military operations against the enemy of Israel. The party that threatens the security and stability of the region and international crossings is the Zionist regime, and if the international community is concerned about the security and stability of the region and the non-expansion of the conflict, it must stop Israel’s aggression in Gaza.
* The strategic importance of the Bab al-Mandeb Strait
The Bab al-Mandeb strait in the west of Yemen overlooks the most important international waterways that connect the east of the world to the west, to the point where 6.2 million barrels of crude oil and its derivatives pass through this strait every day. Also, more than 30% of natural gas trade and more than 10% of world trade is done through this strait, which is overlooked by the country of Yemen.
After the Straits of Malacca and Hormuz, Bab al-Mandab is the third strait in the world, through which 4% of the world’s oil passes daily, and it was used as a pressure lever against the Zionist regime in the October 1973 war.
* Targeting Zionist ships will break the wall of Washington’s support for Tel Aviv
Essam Moqbal, a Yemeni economic researcher, said in an interview with Al-Arabi Al-Jadid: What is happening in the Red Sea is a sensitive and big change, and due to the continuation of the Zionist regime’s aggression in the Gaza Strip, the extensive support of the United States and Europe to Israel, and the shameful complicity of some Arab countries, this change will have consequences in the region.
This Yemeni researcher emphasized that the targeting of Zionist ships in the Red Sea is an important development in splitting the strong defensive alliance that America has established in support of the Zionist regime in its aggression against Gaza.
In this regard, Rashid al-Hadad, another Yemeni economic researcher, emphasized the importance of the Bab al-Mandeb Strait and said that after Malacca and Hormuz, this strait is considered the third strait in the world, through which 4% of the world’s oil passes daily, and it was used as a pressure lever against the Zionist regime in the October 1973 war.
* Yemen’s actions are only against Zionist ships; This action does not threaten international shipping
He said that the announcement made a few days ago by the National Salvation Government of Yemen prohibiting the passage of Zionist ships does not threaten international shipping because the announcement states that the Yemeni government only targets enemy ships in response to the crimes committed by the Zionist regime against the Palestinian nation.
