Speaking to Al Jazeera on Monday, Mohammed al-Bukhaiti said, “There is indirect contact from countries, including the US”, to try to prevent its continued attacks on ships in the Red Sea.
Al-Bukhaiti also said that the US offered not to obstruct efforts toward a lasting peace in Yemen in exchange for the Yemeni armed forces halting their military operations in the Red Sea. “We categorically reject this,” he added.
The US has announced plans to build a military coalition in the Red Sea in response to Yemeni attacks on ships bound for Israel in retaliation for the regime’s brutal war on the Gaza Strip.
At least 12 shipping companies have already suspended transit through the Red Sea due to safety concerns.
Meanwhile, another member of Ansarullah’s political bureau vowed continued support for Palestine amid the Israeli war on Gaza.
“By the grace of God, no power on earth will prevent us from supporting our people in Gaza and opposing the Zionist enemy,” Hezam al-Asad wrote in a post on X in Arabic and Hebrew.
Israel waged the devastating war on Gaza on October 7, after the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas carried out a retaliatory operation against the regime. Regional resistance forces have targeted US and Israeli interests in the region in support of Palestine.
