Tehran, IRNA – Jalal al-Rowaishan, the deputy prime minister in Yemen’s National Salvation Government, says Yemen’s decision to block Zionist access to Red Sea is still in place.

He said on Saturday that the ceasefire in Gaza war has been agreed between the Palestinian resistance and the Zionist regime and does not include the Yemeni front.

Al-Rowaishan added that Yemen’s standing by Palestine is an ethnic, Arab, national, and ethical duty.

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