Yemen’s Deputy FM: Red Sea escalation will end if Gaza’s needs are met

Deputy Foreign Minister of the Sana’a government, Hussein Al-Ezzi, said on Thursday that “the entry of the Gazans’ needs of water, food, medicine, and fuel represents, from the Sana’a point of view, the rational approach to reducing the escalation.”

Al-Ezzi reiterated in a post on his account on the X platform that “the Yemeni procedure in Bab al-Mandab is limited only to ships heading to the Zionist entity, and there are no risks to navigational traffic en route to the rest of the destinations.”
