Senior Yemeni military official confirms to Tehran Times: 

Palestinian cause is one of the first priorities of Yemen’s policy 

On November 19, the Yemeni Armed Forces seized an Israeli-linked cargo ship in a crucial Red Sea shipping route and took its crew members hostage over the Israeli aggression against Gaza. With this step, the Yemenis have forced the major countries to reconsider their absolute support for the Israeli genocide in Gaza. The Yemeni army has also noted that through its savage acts the Israeli entity is involved in sabotaging global trade, 12% of which passes through the Bab al-Mandab Strait.
