MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Yemen's rebel Ansar Allah movement, also known as the Houthis, is ready to allow vessels of all countries pass through the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea except those ships that are related to Israel, a spokesman for the rebel movement said on Saturday.
"Yemen's armed forces reaffirm their commitment to continue global trade traffic through the Red and Arabian seas for all vessels and all countries except the ships related to Israel or those that will ship cargo to Israel's ports," Yahya Saria said in an announcement aired by Arab broadcasters.
The Houthis would prohibit all vessels going to Israel if the Gaza Strip did not receive food and medical supplies, the spokesman added.
