News - Yemen: The Grand Mufti of Oman, Sheikh Ahmed Al-Khalili, has renewed his praise and admiration for Yemen’s unwavering support for the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, who have endured nearly two years of genocide, blockade, starvation, and denial of water at the hands of the Israeli enemy.

He affirmed that the Yemeni people have shattered myths and forced the enemy into retreat, continuing to pursue hostile ships wherever they may be.

Sheikh Al-Khalili is widely known for his steadfast support for Gaza and his outspoken solidarity with the oppressed Palestinian people. He has consistently commended all acts of support for Gaza—foremost among them, Yemen’s firm and comprehensive stance.

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.
