Eilat port manager’s admission of 85 percent reduction in the activity of this port
| The director of the port of Eilat in occupied Palestine announced on Thursday an 85% decrease in activity in this port due to the attacks of the Yemeni army on Israeli ships. |
According to the report of the international group of Fars news agency, the CEO of Eilat port in occupied Palestine said on Thursday that since the beginning of Yemeni army attacks on ships in the Red Sea, the activity in Eilat port is 85%. has decreased.
according to the newspaper “Jerusalem Post” “Gideon Gelber”, CEO of Eilat Port, said: “Without “Bab Al-Mandeb”, the main shipping artery to Eilat Port will be closed. So we’ve lost 85% of the total activity.”
The port of Eilat gives Israel a route to the East without the need for the Suez Canal. By turning the Makran and Red seas into hell for Israeli ships, Yemen has put the port of Eilat on the verge of closure.
Galber said: We have potash for export, but I believe that when the destination is in the Far East, the ships will no longer go that route. A coalition of 10 countries has been created to counter the operations of the Yemeni army against Zionist ships in the Red Sea.
We will arrive at Eilat port without a commercial ship.”
At the beginning of the current war in Gaza, Yemen warned Israel, but many did not take this position seriously. Three days after the start of the ground attack, on October 31 (Tuesday, November 9), Yemen targeted the port and city of Eilat in the southernmost point of occupied Palestine with several missiles and drones to show that among the Arab rulers, the rulers of Sana’a are true to their word.
Israeli authorities have said that the alternative route will increase the travel time by two to three weeks and increase the costs.
