Magnanimity is the hallmark of the brave, the fearless, and the resolute, with full confidence that victory belongs to the righteous, and not to the cowardly aggressors, the occupiers, the usurpers, and the intruders.

This is an apt description of Yemen’s legitimate Ansarallah-led government, which similar to Lebanon’s legendry anti-terrorist movement, the Hezbollah, has decided to cease its right to attack aggressors in manly response to the ceasefire in genocide-riddled Gaza.

This is another proof as to who actually are the terrorists and destroyers of peace and stability and who defends humanitarian values, peace, and regional stability.

According to a report from the Sanaa-based Humanitarian Operations Coordination Centre (HOCC), which liaises between Yemeni forces and commercial shipping operators, the “sanctions” on American- and British-owned vessels, as well as ships flying the two countries’ flags can navigate the regional waters as long as the illegal Zionist entity observes truce.

Its email to shipping industry officials on Sunday, says, “We affirm that, in the event of any aggression against the Republic of Yemen by the United States of America, the United Kingdom, or the usurping Israeli entity, the sanctions will be reinstated against the aggressor.”

The government of Yemen, however, made clear the continuation of appropriate actions against Israel-linked ships, since the Zionist entity is the crux of the problem.

It is worth noting that over a 100 ships have been targeted the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, near the narrow Bab al-Mandeb Strait, a chokepoint between the Horn of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula since November 2023.

The attacks came after due warnings and the refusal to heed them by the US and UK, which instead openly sided with the Zionist entity by launching attacks on Yemen.

Yemen stood its ground and targeted the much superior navies of the aggressors, downing at least 20 of the US’ most advanced radar-evading drones.

It is now up to Washington and London to respect the principled stance of Yemen. Any violation in this regard will bring a swift response from Sana’a.

Yemen is also closely watching the developments in Occupied Palestine, and the Zionist violation of the truce may resume missile and drone attacks on Israel’s military and industrial installations.
