In a significant escalation, President Mahdi al-Mashat has unveiled a new strategic equation targeting the Zionist economy, intensifying the scope of Yemen’s blockade against the criminal entity. The Yemeni president renewed warnings to international companies operating within the occupation, urging them to reconsider their presence in anticipation of the Yemeni Armed Forces’ upcoming military escalation.
In remarks carried by the Yemeni News Agency SABA, President Al-Mashat declared: “Companies that remain in the Zionist entity after this warning must bear the consequences of their insistence, and accept responsibility for any losses they may incur.” He further indicated that additional decisions may be taken in the coming days if necessary, warning that investment companies operating inside the occupation now face serious and impactful risks. “Ignoring the warnings turns their operations within the entity into a dangerous gamble, likely to carry a heavy price,” he said.
From Warning to Execution
This is not Yemen’s first such warning. Since the launch of Operation al-Aqsa Flood, multiple warnings have been issued at each stage of Yemeni support for Gaza. These warnings have consistently been followed by full-scale implementation — without retreat, compromise, or hesitation. Yemen’s first warning targeted Israeli vessels in the Red Sea, leading to the seizure of the "Galaxy Leader" and the targeting of several other Israeli-linked merchant ships, including those associated with American and British interests, following their aggressive intervention on behalf of the Zionist entity.
These escalatory phases were typically triggered by heightened Zionist aggression in Gaza, such as the al-Ahli Baptist Hospital massacre, preparations for the invasion of Rafah, and the renewed commitment to support after the enemy's return to its crimes and onslaughts on Gaza. Crucially, every warning was carried out in full, delivering tangible blows to the Zionist enemy and achieving the intended strategic, economic, and security outcomes.
A Response to Escalating Zionist Crimes
President Al-Mashat’s newly declared equation is positioned as a direct response to the escalation of Israeli atrocities, aiming to curb what he described as a “rampage” tolerated — and indeed supported — regionally and globally by the United States. These crimes include not only direct killings via missiles, tanks, and artillery but also starvation and siege tactics. Notably egregious is the use of food and humanitarian aid as traps, as evidenced by the massacre at an aid distribution point west of Rafah, which left dozens of Palestinians dead or wounded.
Economic Warfare Front and Center
While economic dimensions have featured in previous Yemeni operations, this new equation places them at the very heart of Yemen’s strategy. The message is specifically targeted at international companies operating within the Zionist entity. Delivered via hypersonic missiles that effectively paralyzed Ben Gurion Airport, the warning has already begun to produce economic fallout, not just for individual companies, but across the entire Zionist economy. The Gaza war, as framed by this new doctrine, has evolved into a full-fledged economic earthquake rocking the core of the Israeli entity’s economic stability.
Observers note that the entity's economy has now entered a prolonged period of strategic disruption that will be difficult to overcome without major political and security changes. This could ultimately topple Criminal Netanyahu’s government and leave the Zionist entity exposed to a range of volatile scenarios.
The warning is explicitly and exclusively directed at foreign firms with ties to the Zionist occupation, aiming to deepen the economic crisis and inflict severe financial damage as a part of punishment for the suffering of the Palestinian people. Zionist public broadcaster "KAN" described the warning under the headline: “After Ben Gurion Airport: The Houthis Pose a New Economic Threat to Israel.” The statement captured the anxiety sweeping through the entity after President Al-Mashat’s address, acknowledging the credibility and seriousness behind Yemen’s threats.
Credibility Built on a Track Record
President Al-Mashat’s threat gains weight from a proven track record. The Yemeni warning is built upon nearly two years of consistent implementation — a campaign of warnings followed by decisive action, each time achieving its goals of damaging the enemy's economy. According to the Zionist broadcaster, this credibility is a cornerstone of Yemen’s strategic threat and gives its warnings a powerful deterrent edge.
The broadcaster also emphasized the significance of the Ben Gurion strike, noting that even intercepted missiles could severely impact "Israeli" aviation and cause massive economic disruption. “Yemen is determined to continue inflicting damage on the Israeli economy,” the report stated. It warned that the new threat could include attacks on foreign company headquarters inside the Israeli occupation or large-scale efforts to paralyze daily life, prompting foreign investors to reconsider their involvement in the occupation.
On Tuesday, Zionist outlet "Imes" reported that President Al-Mashat’s warning had sparked considerable concern in both economic and security circles. The site pointed to growing fears within the Zionist establishment of potential attacks targeting foreign companies linked to the occupation.
Multi-Warhead Warning
These threats are symbolically and materially embodied in a multi-warhead missile recently referenced by a Yemeni Ministry of Defense source. Designed to evade and overwhelm the Zionist air defenses, the missile was intended to maximize damage. President Al-Mashat also revealed that some international companies had already responded to the warnings by expressing willingness to move their operations out of the entity — a clear indication that the message has been received, unambiguously and effectively.
