WASHINGTON, Mar. 11 (YPA) – The World Bank confirmed that the Gulf countries, especially Saudi Arabia, are seeking to develop a land bridge to transport goods to the Zionist entity.
This comes as part of betrayal and normalization regimes’ attempts to normalize relations and lift the Yemeni naval blockade on the Israeli occupation while ignoring the blockade imposed on Gaza.
The bank indicated that military operations in the Red Sea prompted the diversion of part of the shipping traffic to land via Saudi Arabia towards “Israel.”.
It was explained that this shift contributed to increasing the activity of the Dammam port by about 15%, while reducing reliance on the Yanbu port.
The bank stated that the crisis in Yemen extended to strategic maritime areas, which prompted the Gulf countries to follow solutions such as linking their ports by land to the occupied port of Haifa. The impact of this on the delivery times of European suppliers was also noted, with “Israel” being the most affected.
