The Deputy Prime Minister of the Houthi government in Yemen for Defense and Security, Jalal Al-Ruwaishan, told the Lebanese network Al-Mayadeen, affiliated with Hezbollah, that the cease-fire "only pertains to Gaza."
He added: "Our decision to close the Red Sea to the enemy remains in place. The Yemeni stance was declared clearly, there will be no more diplomatic language. Those who say we act for Palestine should act as we do. Standing with Palestine is a national, Arab and moral duty." (Lior Ben-Ari)
