The Sana’a-based government has escalated its enforcement of the maritime blockade on Israel by placing 64 major shipping companies on a blacklist of sanctions, accusing them of violating the ban by engaging with Israeli ports.
In an official statement issued yesterday, the Humanitarian Operations Coordination Center affiliated with the Sana’a government stated that the listed companies had received prior warnings but ignored them. As a result, comprehensive sanctions were imposed, targeting their entire fleets operating in the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, Bab al-Mandab Strait, and the Arabian Sea—declaring them legitimate targets.
The statement confirmed that pre-sanction notifications are still being sent to suspected companies and noted that some firms have already begun severing ties with Israel in an effort to avoid further escalation.
This move, according to the center, is part of broader efforts to pressure the Israeli entity to end its aggression and lift the blockade on the Gaza Strip.
