Yemen's Houthis say they have hijacked an Israeli ship in the Red Sea

Yemen's Houthis said they had hijacked an Israeli ship sailing in the Red Sea. The ship was flying the flag of the Bahamas. The Arab press reports this.

The Houthis began to fulfill their promise to capture all Israeli ships passing through the Red Sea and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, announcing that they were able to capture the Galaxy Leader, a ro-ro ro-ro vessel flying the flag of the Bahamas. The Houthi press service is expected to make a statement on this matter in the near future.



Meanwhile, as the Israeli press reports, this ship is not Israeli, it is a ship sailing from Turkey and to India with an international civilian crew, among which there is not a single Israeli. On the other hand, the ship belongs to an Israeli businessman who leased it to a Japanese company.

The ship seized by the Houthis belongs to the Ray Shipping company of Israeli businessman Rami Unger, but is leased to a Japanese company. There are no Israelis on board. All crew members are Japanese

- writes the Israeli press.

Earlier, the Yemeni Houthis said they would seize and sink all Israeli ships passing through the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandeb Strait. Thus, the Houthis support the Hamas movement, which is fighting against Israel. On the other hand, these actions will lead to Israel’s “partners” introducing several warships into the Red Sea, which will accompany civilian ships. At the same time, the Houthis have ground-based installations with Iranian-made anti-ship missiles that could test the missile defenses of American ships.

        Yemen's Houthis say they have hijacked an Israeli ship in the Red Sea

        Something has changed in the Houthis' plans. Yemeni media have spread and are spreading threats from the Houthi military-political leadership against Israel and demonstrate what happened to Saudi warships in the Red Sea. Also, the Yemeni army previously announced that it would sink all Israeli ships and vessels in the Red Sea. Under any flag and jurisdiction, only for connection with Israel.

        The Yemeni army (Houthis) claimed which Israeli ships would be sunk in the Red Sea:
        - Israeli vessels/ships flying the Israeli flag.
        - Vessels operated by Israeli companies, even if they fly the flag of a foreign country.
        - Vessels owned by Israeli companies.

        The ship seized by the Houthis belongs to the Ray Shipping company of Israeli businessman Rami Unger, but is leased to a Japanese company. There are no Israelis on board. All crew members are Japanese
        - writes the Israeli press.

        The vessel itself was flying the flag of the Bahamas.

        Now the Jews, in their characteristic manner, are trying to excuse themselves, claiming that this ship is on the balance sheet of a British company, and that there is not a single Israeli on the crew...

        There is only one thing strange here - why was Israel the first to “strain” and harness itself to the ship?

        It is known about the owner of the ship, Rami Unger, that he is a close friend of the head of the Mossad.

            Come on. The mattresses have brought the situation to the point that now anyone who has a sufficient amount of impudence, weapons and ingenuity can seize a ship and dispose of its contents. Recently, it was the mattresses who arrested a ship going to Yemen, on board which were Iranian weapons for the Houthis, which the mattresses eventually transferred to Ukraine. Now the Houthis, as an alaverdi, have squeezed out “some kind of load” in their favor. So this is not piracy, but rather barter. Yes

      Someone really asked the Houthis not to fire missiles at passing ships, but to board them as much as their heart desires. This suits both Egypt and oil carriers. So, by the way, the Greeks transporting our oil earn 4-6 times more than freight at world prices. And there are also insurers who also set prices too high, as they equate the strait near Yemen to a war zone, everyone is sickened it will happen, and for us first of all.

      The courts are a real mess. There is one owner, another registration, a third management company, a fourth charterer, a fifth service company. And if the owner is from Israel, then the registration could easily be “Bahamas”, managers from somewhere in Germany, freight to some “Japanese” who hire crews from anywhere every six months, and entrusted the maintenance and repair of the vessel to some or "Koreans". Everything about ship ownership is so much fun that without half a liter of horseradish you won’t be able to figure it out.

      Jews know how to confuse everyone. Their enterprises in Russia operate under the guise of other companies in order to avoid paying taxes......

      If you paint it gray, it looks like the Mistral helicopter carrier. Clearly a double-purpose product, just cover the deck and the landing ship is ready.

      This is called piracy. And he is punished accordingly.

      Very interesting! When they captured North Korean and Iranian ships off the coast of Yemen, they thought that this complied with all the norms of international law, but now we find out that this was piracy.
      It’s even more interesting when they “frozen” or rather stole money from Venezuela, Iran, the DPRK and Russia, and this was absolutely in accordance with all legal norms.

      The days have returned when Muslim corsairs threatened shipping.
      Previously they were Berbers, now they are Houthis.

      Here it is, the new world of the 21st century.

        Between paroxysms of joy, we should not forget that when the European powers settled their conflicts (Congress of Vienna), ships with cannons sailed to these Berbers and cleared them to the rocky foundation.
