On Saturday, the head of the Sanaa negotiating delegation, Mohammad Abdel Salam, announced the ongoing talks with international parties under the auspices of the Sultanate of Omar regarding the Red Sea operations.
Abdel Salam stressed: “We confirmed in more than one meeting that Yemen’s position with Gaza is not subject to bargaining,” adding that “we cannot stand idly by.”
Earlier this week, Abdul Salam revealed that several states contacted the movement following the operations carried out by the Yemeni Armed Forces in the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea.
Those who contacted the Ansar Allah movement confirmed their governments' support of the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and their commitment to facilitating humanitarian aid for the Palestinian people.
على خلفية العمليات في البحر الأحمر والبحر العربي نتلقى اتصالات ورسائل عدة من دول فاعلة تؤكد دعمها لوقف إطلاق النار في غزة والتزامها بالعمل على إدخال المساعدات الإنسانية للشعب الفلسطيني وأنهم ضد توسع الصراع.

ومع تشجيعنا لكل المواقف المطالبة بوقف إطلاق النار وإدخال المساعدات…
In a post on X, Abdul Salam emphasized that Yemen supports those "calling for a ceasefire and the entry of aid (into the Gaza Strip)," emphasizing the importance of translating these positions into effective actions.
Abdul Salam pointed out that Yemen will remain steadfast in support of the Palestinian people until the Israeli aggression is stopped and the blockade on the Strip is lifted.
On a related note, earlier today, the first batch of fresh foodstuffs arrived in "Israel" from the United Arab Emirates in the first trial of a new land bridge that is to be used instead of the Red Sea due to the Yemeni blockade on the latter, the Israeli Walla! news website reported on Saturday.
The shipment of foodstuff was transported from the UAE "through the new land bridge [used] as an alternative to the Red Sea," media reports said. The freight was transported from the UAE through Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and then "Israel".
Israeli reports said the initial trial was a success, with 10 trucks making it from the UAE to occupied Palestine for the benefit of the Israeli occupation.
