For the Israeli enemy to be surprised by the sinking of the vessels (Magic Seas) and then (Eternity C) indic that it is an entity resistant to understanding and comprehension. The considerations upon which Yemen based its supportive role for its brethren in Palestine were not a luxury; rather, they were a response and rescue for those who appealed to the world but found no one to answer them. Because the enemy's arrogance had reached a point where it imagined itself to be the arbiter of the region, capable of executing its decisions, and possessing an open sphere of influence in the world, free to disregard covenants and trample on resolutions without anyone being able to hold it accountable; it seems natural for it to persist in its delusion, spreading corruption and mischief on Earth.
The decision to impose a naval blockade on vessels entering the ports of occupied Palestine came in this context, especially as the aggression against Gaza had reached a level that testifies to collective global injustice against Palestinians, seemingly a blank check with no reactions or pressures except for commenting on daily events.
Everyone has become a spectator, with the exception of a few free voices still traversing the streets of Europe and America, rejecting this demonic anarchy perpetrated by the enemies of humanity, America and Israel.
The armed forces' imposition of a blockade on the enemy is a steadfast action that pierces the heart of this international passivity and fulfills what is necessitated by a sense of responsibility towards the oppressed. The Yemeni decision was not issued and implemented in vain, nor was its issuance separate from the intense rejection within Yemeni society of Zionist criminality in Gaza and the support for the armed forces' operations to lift the oppression from Palestinians.
Therefore, treating it as a temporary and fleeting movement will certainly have repercussions not in the interest of those who violate the decision. The decision is sovereign and concerns not only the Yemeni armed forces but all Yemenis.
Denunciation Statements: The Ceiling of International Action
The armed forces have warned repeatedly that exceeding the decision and breaking the blockade on occupied ports will not be permitted under any circumstances as long as the aggression against Gaza continues.
The entity, America, and the owners of the vessels violating the decision are solely responsible for committing the offense, as was the case with (Magic Seas), (Eternity C), and before that, (Rubymar), all of which ended up at the bottom of the sea due to their defiance. As for expressing discontent and condemnation of what occurred, it merely indicates that they have not understood this measure.
For over a year and a half; the world has been observing and aware of what the Zionist entity is perpetrating in Gaza, perceiving the aggressive actions of America, Britain, and then Germany, France, and other followers in forming political garrisons for the enemy, naval alliances, and the forms and extent of support for it. At the same time, the world has agreed that the enemy's practices constitute a flagrant and blatant violation of all international norms and conventions, which needs no proof, with its evidence being the facts of genocide in the Strip and the use of starvation and thirst as a weapon of killing.
This is further affirmed by the defiance shown to the international community by the entity's representative—under the auspices of the United Nations—tearing up the UN Charter in front of everyone. Despite all this, the condemnatory reaction to this Zionist arrogance has not gone beyond denunciation and condemnation, and at best, a recommendation to boycott the enemy and halt arms deals that were planned to be sold to it. Otherwise, America and its British follower have been emergency vehicles for the enemy, shipping to it the weapons it needs to continue killing Palestinians.
Yemen Between Global Powers and the Zionist Coalition
While the Arab and Islamic stance remains weak and regrettable for our nation, Yemen acted independently with all its available capabilities, undeterred by the disparity in weapons, support, and the aggression of the Zionist coalition. Relying on Allah and the firm strength of faith in the humanity and morality of its position, Yemen moved decisively to support the oppressed Palestinian people.
This unexpected move broke the global inertia, drawing urgent attention to the grave violations committed against humanity in occupied Palestine—crimes unparalleled in history. Yemen succeeded in boosting the morale of the Palestinian resistance by conveying the message, “You are not alone,” and demonstrating to the world that it can do more than merely observe and issue statements.
The world witnessed a clear division between those who supported Yemen’s initiative and those who sided with the American and Israeli coalition out of fear. The most significant consensus in both camps was the recognition of the legality of Yemen’s actions in practically supporting the Palestinian people, while condemning the Zionist campaign of extermination and the aggressive American mobilization against Yemen as unlawful.
Legal experts affirm that “the Palestinian people are a protected group under the Genocide Convention.” Yemen’s explicit declaration that its support operations aim to end the aggression and siege on Gaza’s Palestinian population—and will continue until this goal is achieved—added a profound moral dimension, exposing the hypocrisy of propaganda surrounding human rights and self-determination.
This stance noticeably shifted international positions, except for the Zionist bloc. Lawyer and researcher Abdul Rahman Abdullah confirmed that all “operations by the Yemeni armed forces in the Red Sea are legitimate and lawful because they seek to halt and prevent genocide against Palestinians throughout the Palestinian territories, especially Gaza.”
A Moral Divide Elevates Yemen’s Standing
Following the U.S. withdrawal from the Red Sea confrontation, Yemen’s position became clear: ending hostilities with America would not affect its operations against the Zionist enemy.
"This was Washington’s initial goal—to stop Yemen’s actions—but after weeks of resistance, it gave in to Yemen’s determination, realizing that forcing Yemen to compromise its principles was impossible."
Regardless, Yemeni forces continued their defensive mission, upholding humanitarian values by restraining the Zionist entity and forcing it to abandon ambitions rooted in the extermination of the Palestinian people and regional violations. This role is carried out by Yemen’s armed forces on behalf of the countries in the region and the free voices worldwide.
"Despite American and British efforts to deter Yemen—through naval coalitions, blockades, and restrictions—it became clear that only a small minority aligned with the U.S.-British side, while the majority, even if not openly supporting Yemen, recognized that the Yemeni armed forces’ actions were justified, defending values trampled by the military and economic powers of the U.S. and Israel."
Following the U.S. withdrawal, the Red Sea experienced relative calm, with Yemeni forces encountering fewer ships violating the embargo. However, this mission resumed when the vessel Magic Seas recklessly defied Yemen’s decree. The owning company risked violating Yemen’s ban and ignored repeated warnings from the Yemeni navy. The inevitable outcome was the decisive targeting and sinking of Magic Seas, serving as a stern warning to others.
Legal and Moral Grounds That Undermine U.S. Measures
Opposition to Yemen’s actions by some parties lacks any legal basis. Instead, it reflects the refusal of hegemonic powers to witness Yemen exhibiting such boldness and capability.
This resistance is consistent with a long-standing and continuing conspiracy designed to prevent any Arab or Muslim nation from breaking free of dependence or exercising independent decision-making—particularly in the military and economic realms.
The Zionist entity has no legitimate right to commit heinous crimes against a people native to their land. Similarly, the United States cannot justify crossing thousands of kilometers from territory it occupies—taken from Native Americans—to invade the region and target those who oppose Zionist aggression.
As a result, it has become evident that Yemen’s decision is grounded in legal and moral foundations that significantly diminish the legitimacy of U.S. actions, including its acts of terrorism against Yemen.
The condescending response to Yemen’s declared and practical support for the Palestinian people stems from the entrenched assumption that the Arab and Islamic world is too weak to defy the red lines drawn by imperialist powers.
Yemen’s assertive position disrupts the colonial strategy that aims to present the Zionist entity as a military proxy for global imperialism—tasked with securing its interests and plundering the resources of oppressed nations.
Because Yemen’s support is not based on self-interest, it remains steadfast—unshaken by statements or provocations from the White House or the Zionist entity. The recent targeting of the Magic or Eternity vessels will not be the last, as long as some companies continue to defy or violate Yemen’s maritime ban on the Zionist entity—until the aggression ceases and the siege on Gaza is lifted.
