The Prime Minister of Sanaa, Abdulaziz bin Habtoor, said, "Yemen has the final say in the Bab al-Mandab strait gate to preserve the Arab identity of the Red Sea in the face of the American conspiracy to turn it into a Zionist lake."

Bin Habtoor added to the Al Masirah channel that "the signing of 19 cooperation agreements refutes the media pumping about a Saudi-American dispute."

He added, "US President Joe Biden's visit to the region reflected American weakness," stressing that "regarding the reference to Yemen in the statement announced during the summit of traitors in Jeddah, it is pure hypocrisy, and Saudi Arabia is an aggressor and has never been a mediator."

In his speech, the PM indicated that "the Saudi-led coalition of aggression was neither sincere nor committed to the terms of the UN armistice."

US President Joe Biden said during his meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman that his country's "peacekeeping" forces on the islands of Tiran and Sanafir in the Red Sea will leave by the end of this year.

Informed sources told AFP that "Israel has no objection to the transfer of the islands of Tiran and Sanafir in the Red Sea to Saudi Arabia," which is a precondition for a possible normalization process between Riyadh and "Tel Aviv."

Sovereignty over the islands of Tiran and Sanafir was transferred from Egypt to Saudi Arabia in 2017, and a "multinational force" has been stationed there since "Israel" and Egypt signed the normalization agreement in 1979.

The Israeli newspaper, The Jerusalem Post, reported that "Israel" is scheduled to agree to new security arrangements that would allow Egypt to transfer control of the islands of Tiran and Sanafir in the Strait of Tiran to Saudi Arabia.

Earlier, the United States of America announced the establishment of a new task force with allied countries, which will patrol the Red Sea off Yemen, allegedly aiming, according to Washington, to "strengthen cooperation and security in the Red Sea, Bab al-Mandab Strait, and the Gulf of Aden."
