Sanaa Gov’t spokesman: Alliance to be formed to protect navigation aims to protect Israeli ships

SANAA, Dec. 18 (YPA) – Sanaa government spokesman Dhaifallah al-Shami said on Monday that the proposed international navigation alliance aims to protect Israeli ships and those supporting “Israel.”

During a press conference with Israeli occupation army Minister of War Yoav Galant in Tel Aviv this evening, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin stated that his country is seeking to form an international alliance to counter what he called “Ansarallah attacks in Yemen” on ships bound for the occupying entity.

Austin added that he would hold meetings with a number of defense ministers from several countries to discuss possible actions to counter what he called “threats” in the Red Sea.
