The Yemeni information minister Dhaifullah al-Shami in the National Salvation Government has stressed that the country’s Armed Forces are fully prepared for any possible military scenario, after Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the regime will act militarily against the Arab country if the United States fails to do so.
“We stand ready to confront any military action against ourselves,” he stated late on Saturday.
Dhaifullah al-Shami added that Yemeni forces have employed anything at their disposal in solidarity with their Palestinian brethren in the Gaza Strip.
“Any ship that seeks to deliver a consignment to Zionists will be in our crosshair,” he pointed out.
Earlier, Netanyahu has told US president Joe Biden that Israel will act militarily against Yemen's Ansarullah resistance movement if the US fails to adopt any action.
Tzachi Hanegbi, Israel’s so-called national security chief of staff, told journalists Amit Segal and Ben Caspit about the Tel Aviv regime’s intention to respond to Yemeni forces that have attacked and seized several Israeli-linked ships in the Red Sea and Bab el-Mandab Strait.
“Tzachin Hanegbi to Amit Segal Ben Caspit: Netanyahu informed Biden…- if you don't act against the Hutus, we will act militarily,” the post on X reads.
The Yemenis have declared their open support for Palestine’s struggle against the Israeli occupation since the regime launched a relentless military campaign against Gaza in October 7.
