Sana’a, MINA – Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, the leader of the Ansarallah group, announced that they are giving the Israeli occupation four days to allow humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip. If this does not happen, his group will resume its naval operations in the Red Sea against Israeli targets, Palestine Chronicle reported.
In a speech aired by the group’s Al-Masirah channel, al-Houthi declared, “We announce to the entire world that we will give a four-day grace period. This is a grace period for the mediators in their efforts.”
He added, “If the Israeli enemy continues, after the first four days, to prevent the entry of aid into the Gaza Strip and continues to completely close the crossings and prevent the entry of food and medicine into Gaza, we will resume our naval operations against the Israeli enemy, and we will meet the siege with a siege.”
Al-Houthi emphasized that “the Israeli enemy has evaded its obligations regarding the humanitarian file” and highlighted that Hamas had shown commitment to fulfilling its responsibilities under the agreement.
