Netanyahu holds
Tehran responsible for Houthi detention of
Galaxy Leader in the Red Sea
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held Tehran responsible
for the hijacking of the Galaxy Leader in the Red Sea
which the Houthis took on Sunday and detaine
considering it an "Iranian whim."
In a statement in response to the seizure of the vessel
Netanyahu's office said the vessel was British and operated
by a Japanese company
"hijacked by the Houthi militia in Yemen on an Iranian whim."
The statement indicated that the ship's crew comprised 25 individuals from Bulgaria, Mexico, the Philippines and Ukraine and none of the Israelis.
This is another act of
Iranian terrorism that reflects a leap forward in Iran's aggression against
the citizens of the free world and creates international repercussions
when it comes to the security of international shipping routes.
Earlier on Sunday
Yemeni media quoted sources in the Sana 'a government that their forces
had seized an Israeli transport ship sailing in the Red Sea.
For his part
the Israeli army
spokesman considered the incident of the hijacking of
the transport vessel
by the Houthis near Yemen in the Red Sea to be a
"serious incident on a global level."
He added that "the ship is not an Israeli, but a vessel originating from Turkey
on its way to India with an international crew without any Israeli .
Also
the Yemeni armed forces of the Houthi group "Ansar Allah"
announced that they would target all types of Israeli-flagged vessels
and those operated or owned by Israeli companies.
The "Houthi" military spokesman
Brigadier General Yahya Sarei
said in a statement that "based on religious, national and moral responsibility
and in view of the brutal Israeli-American aggression against the Gaza Strip
where daily massacres and genocide are committed
and in response to
the demands of our Yemeni people and the demands of
free peoples, we help our oppressed people in GazGaz."
