Hamas has welcomed the Ansarallah movement's four-day ultimatum to the Israeli regime, demanding an end to its blockade on humanitarian aid for Gaza.
On Friday, Yemen’s Ansarallah resistance movement issued a warning to resume naval operations against Israeli-linked vessels if the Israeli regime fails to comply with the ceasefire terms and continues to block aid to Gaza.
In a statement, Hamas praised Ansarallah’s move as a demonstration of solidarity, emphasizing the longstanding support of Ansarallah and the Yemeni people for Palestine.
"This courageous decision, which reflects the deep bond of our brothers in Ansarallah and the brotherly Yemeni people with Palestine and Jerusalem, is an extension of their blessed support and steadfast backing throughout the past fifteen months of genocide in the Gaza Strip," the statement read, Press TV reported.
The movement also urged the international community and the United Nations to take immediate action to halt Tel Aviv's "crime of starvation" against civilians in Gaza, referring to the closure of crossings and the obstruction of humanitarian aid.
It further called on Arab and Islamic nations to take concrete steps to break the siege on Gaza and counter Israel's blockade by all available means.
On Friday, the leader of Yemen’s Ansarallah movement, Abdul Malik al-Houthi, announced the four-day grace period, warning that if Israel fails to resume ceasefire talks and lift restrictions on aid deliveries, Ansarallah will restart naval operations against Israeli-linked maritime traffic.
"We meet the siege with a siege," al-Houthi said, reiterating that Yemen "cannot stand by and watch the Israeli enemy’s aggressive approach in starving the Palestinian people in Gaza."
He stressed that Ansarallah is prepared to support Palestine beyond issuing statements, pointing to Israeli regime's delays in fulfilling its obligations regarding humanitarian aid as part of the ceasefire process.
Ansarallah had previously halted its military operations in solidarity with Gaza following the implementation of a ceasefire.
The Houthi warning comes nearly a week after Israeli regime reimposed a total blockade on humanitarian aid shipments to Gaza.
