โ—๏ธIsraeli Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir:

"The shocking images from Syria prove one truth: whoever was a jihadist, remains a jihadist. Anyone who kills, cuts mustaches, humiliates, and rapes should not be negotiated, and the only solution with al-Julani is to eliminate him. I love the Druze citizens of the State of Israel, and I send them a warm greeting and say: we have to eliminate the head of the snake."

โญ•๏ธ Yemen's naval blockade in support of Gaza forces full shutdown of Israel's Eilat Port

The Yemeni Armed Forces-led naval blockade in support of Gaza has forced the total shutdown of Israel's Eilat Port โ€” the countryโ€™s only Red Sea terminal โ€” after nearly two years of paralysis. Since the blockade began in November 2023, shipping to Eilat collapsed, revenues plunged 80%, and ship traffic all but disappeared. The final blow came when Eilatโ€™s municipality, citing NIS 10 million in unpaid taxes, seized the portโ€™s bank accounts, halting its last remaining operations. The port is officially set to shut down on Sunday, July 20, 2025.

Eilat had been a key entry point for vehicles from the Far East, handling nearly half of Israelโ€™s car imports. Now, with the port frozen and staff furloughed, the Israeli government is scrambling to reroute trade via Mediterranean ports โ€” raising shipping costs and logistics pressure. While the Transport Ministry considers legally forcing car shipments back through Eilat, the closure highlights how the Yemeni Armed Forces' campaign has not only reshaped regional shipping lanes but also inflicted major economic disruption on Israelโ€™s southern gateway.
