News - Yemen: The Alliance of Anti-Aggression Parties and Political Forces affirmed its full support for the Yemeni Armed Forces’ decision to impose a naval blockade on maritime traffic bound for the port of Haifa in occupied Palestine.

In a joint statement, the alliance stated that this move comes at a critical juncture, as the siege on Gaza has reached catastrophic levels, threatening the lives of its residents.

The statement emphasized that the decision reflects the will of a free people and the wisdom of a leadership that accepts nothing less than a proactive stance in the face of massacres and crimes.

It stressed that this step is both significant and a natural extension of Yemen’s long-standing and principled support for the Palestinian cause. It also reflects Yemen’s moral, political, and military solidarity with the Palestinian people suffering under brutal Zionist aggression, an unprecedented and unjust blockade, and disgraceful regional and international complicity.

The alliance considered the decision a response to the Zionist enemy’s criminal escalation in Gaza, its continued perpetration of genocide and ethnic cleansing, the tightening of the siege, and the prevention of humanitarian aid. 

It added that the growing impact of the Yemeni front—along with the military and political messages sent through this decision and the earlier no-fly zone declaration—will force the enemy to reconsider its flawed calculations.

In conclusion, the Alliance of Anti-Aggression Parties and Political Forces called on all free peoples and movements around the world to take effective action and exert real pressure to end the aggression on Gaza, stop the genocide, and lift the blockade.

Since the onset of Israel’s war on Gaza in October 2023, Yemen has emerged as one of the most active regional forces confronting the Zionist regime militarily. In response to the ongoing genocide in Gaza and the continued siege on the Palestinian people, the Yemeni Armed Forces have launched a series of escalating operations, including missile and drone strikes as well as naval and aerial blockades, targeting Israeli infrastructure and ports.

Initially focusing on the Red Sea and Umm Al-Rashrash port, Yemen successfully disrupted Israeli maritime activity. More recently, the Yemeni Armed Forces expanded their campaign by announcing a naval blockade on Haifa Port in northern occupied Palestine, signaling a strategic escalation in both range and intent.

This latest development comes amid growing concern among Israeli and American officials about Yemen's expanding military reach and sophisticated capabilities. The move has also prompted widespread regional reactions, with resistance factions hailing Yemen’s actions as a major step in pressuring Israel and redefining the regional balance of power.
