The Prime Minister of the National Salvation Government, Dr. Abdulaziz bin Habtoor, has on Monday affirmed that Yemen will not allow the Red Sea to be turned into “an Israeli lake.”
In a statement today to Al-Masirah TV, the Prime Minister indicated that “Bab al-Mandab is an international corridor, but it is part of Yemeni territory.”
He stressed that “Sana’a has the final say on the gate of the Bab al-Mandab Strait, to preserve the Arab identity of the Red Sea in the face of the American conspiracy to turn it into a Zionist lake.”
Dr. Bin Habtoor pointed out that US President Joe Biden’s visit to the region reflected American weakness, and that “what concerns Yemen in the statement of the Jeddah summit was pure hypocrisy. Saudi Arabia was an aggressor party and was never a mediator.”
The Prime Minister of the National Salvation Government confirmed that the Saudi-led coalition was “neither sincere nor committed to the terms of the UN-brokered armistice.”
