News - Yemen: The Southern Movement, a participant in the National Dialogue Conference and signatory to the Peace and Partnership Agreement, expressed its blessing of the Yemeni Armed Forces’ announcement regarding the launch of the fourth phase of the naval blockade on the Zionist enemy’s ports. It described the move as a reaffirmation of Yemen’s firm and consistent stance in supporting Gaza, its people, and its resistance, sending a clear and direct message to the enemies of the nation that Yemen’s escalatory options in support of Gaza are deliberate and varied.

In a statement issuedon Tuesday, the Movement emphasized that the Zionist and American enemies—and those aligned with them—have no option but to end the aggression and lift the siege on Gaza if they seek to save face and avoid the bitterness and defeat brought by Yemen’s severe and escalating measures in support of Gaza.

The statement praised the Yemeni Armed Forces for their qualitative military operations targeting the depths of the Zionist enemy in the occupied Palestinian territories, as well as for the success of the imposed aerial and naval blockade on its ports and airports.

The Yemeni Armed Forces have announced the launch of a new phase in their naval blockade against the Zionist entity, targeting all ships belonging to companies that deal with ports in occupied Palestine, regardless of the company's nationality or the ship’s destination.

In a statement, Armed Forces spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Sare'e declared: "The Yemeni Armed Forces have decided to escalate their military support operations and implement the fourth phase of the naval blockade on the enemy. This phase includes targeting all ships belonging to any company that deals with Israeli ports—regardless of the company's nationality and wherever our forces can reach them."

These actions are framed as part of a broader Yemeni strategy to enforce an aerial and naval blockade on the Israeli enemy in response to its war crimes and humanitarian blockade of Gaza. By continually threatening key points in occupied Palestine, the Yemeni forces aim to create both material and psychological pressure to halt the assault on Gaza and open humanitarian corridors.
