A maritime source of the SABA Yemeni agency confirmed today that the ship targeted by the Yemeni Armed Forces(YAF) in the Gulf of Aden is an American ship carrying poultry food and not humanitarian aid as claimed by Washington.

In parallel, the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs in Sanaa Hussein El-Ezzi confirmed that there are ongoing constructive conversations between Sanaa and the European Union in which the former reassured of the safety of maritime navigation.

He added that the European Union initiated the talks with Sanaa clarifying and stressing that it is not part of the American-British coalition adding that its mission is very different from the latter's as it has no intent of aggression towards Yemen. 

Al-Ezzi further confirmed the safe passage of 283 ships this week alone and 5061 in total since the beginning of the Yemeni operations in the Red Sea. He stressed that the United States is spreading lies regarding maritime navigation backing the Yemeni government's statement of assuring that there is no threat from Yemen and that the latter and in specific Sanaa is the valve of safety for maritime navigation and guaranteeing such safety without Yemen is a mere illusion. 

He further stressed that the three parties prohibited from maritime navigation in the Red Sea are "Israel", the United States of America, and Britain emphasizing that the US is currently helpless and cannot ensure the safe passage of its ships noting that the latter used to pass safely before the US aggression on Yemen.

Al-Ezzi mentioned that Washington declared its opposition to the ceasefire decision in Gaza only hours following Joe Biden's statement of "protecting civilian lives" which is in his opinion a clear contradiction. 

The head of the Supreme Political Council in Yemen, Mahdi Al-Mashat, formed a humanitarian council in Yemen to plan the safe passage and contract coordination with ships in the Red Sea and constant coordination.
