Hauthis of Yemen said on Tuesday that they would resume the attack on Israeli ships passing by red and Arabia, Bab al-Mandab Strait and Aden’s Gulf, the Gaza ceasefire in January ends the calm period.
Houthis launched more than 100 attacks targeting shipping since November 2023, stating that he was in solidarity with Palestinians on the Israeli war with Hamas in Gaza.
During that period, the group submerged two vessels, seized the other and killed at least four seafers in an aggressive, which disrupts global shipping, forcing the firms to re -root long and more expensive visits around South Africa.
The leader of Yemen’s Houthis had warned on Friday that the group would resume its naval operation against Israel if Israel did not obstruct the aid in Gaza within four days.
On 2 March, Israel blocked the entry of aid trucks in Gaza, as Hamas asked Egypt and Katri mediators to intervene.
The group said in an email statement on Wednesday, “This ban will remain effective as long as the Gaza Strip is reopened and allowed to record humanitarian aid including food and medical supply,” the group said in an email statement on Wednesday, saying that the ban will be with immediate effect.
On the other hand, an Israeli team has arrived in Katri Rajdhani to continue the conversation with the mediators on the fate of the Gaza ceasefire, which has been limited since its first phase since ending earlier this month, stated by Israeli media.
This follows the comments of a senior officer of Hamas, stating that the conversation in Doha started again.
The report stated that the intermediary will try to extract a concession from Hamas as the release of Israeli prisoners in lieu of a temporary expansion of the ceasefire, which aims to buy more time.
Hamas has repeatedly said that it is not interested in such a proposal.
A senior Hamas official said that a recent round of Gaza ceasefire talks started on Tuesday at Katri Rajdhani Doha, in which the Palestinian movement came close to the conversation “positive and responsible”.
Abdul Rahman Shadid said in a statement, “A new round of ceasefire conversation began today.” “Our movement is working positively and responsible with these dialogues.”
Israel has also sent a team of negotiaters to negotiate with the objective of expanding the delicate ceasefire in Gaza, but has not yet commented on the talks.
“We hope that there is tangible progress towards starting the second phase from the current era of talks,” Shadid said.
He also hoped that American Middle East envoy Steve Witcoff “would help start interaction for the second phase of the ceasefire agreement”.
“The US administration (Israel) takes responsibility for its unwavering support for the government’s possession.”
