'Decision to block Zionist access to Red Sea still in place'

TEHRAN, Nov. 25 (MNA) – The deputy prime minister in Yemen’s National Salvation Government has said that Yemen’s decision to block Zionist access to the Red Sea is still in place.

Jalal al-Rowaishan made the remarks on Saturday on the second day of implementation of the truce in the Gaza war between the Palestinian resistance and the Zionist regime.

The cease-fire does not include the Yemeni front, he further noted.

He went on to say that Yemen’s standing by Palestine is an ethnic, Arab, national, and moral duty.

Yemen is prepared to deal with possible consequences of its decision, the Yemeni official said, adding that possible aggression against his country would not be worse than the US and Zionist aggression against Yemen which he said was carried out at the hands of the Arab states nine years ago.
