During a visit to the Eilat port today, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant inspected a Sa’ar 6-class corvette of the Israel Navy. He delivered a firm message, asserting that Israel will not accept any threats or attempts to attack Eilat, specifically addressing this warning to the Iran-supported Houthi forces in Yemen.
The following are excerpts from the Minister’s remarks:
“The threat to freedom of navigation in the Straits of Bab al-Mandab, two thousand kilometers from the State of Israel, is not only a threat on traffic to Israel, but also to international freedom of navigation in waters belonging to all countries.”
“I would like to thank my friend, U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, whom I hosted in Israel a few days ago, for leading, on behalf of the United States, the multinational force tasked with ensuring freedom of navigation for all, in the Strait of Bab al Mandab.”
“I have met the men and women in our Navy, the officers and commanders. We will not tolerate threats against the State of Israel. If they continue to provoke us, try to attack Eilat with missiles or by other means, we will know what to do. We are preparing – the troops here are ready for any mission and any command. The State of Israel, through the Navy and the Air Force, will know how to defend itself.”

On sukkot the minister in Israel went to speak in Saudi Arabia thinking about a train to the uae just a little after that October 7 and both Saudi and the emerits are not going to war the huthis in Yemen this is because they didn’t ask advice from RABBI maybe he would of said to put them all in the west or to expel them from Gaza or to do a secret shin bet to get back the hostages or to give back the prisoners and then starve gaza people to give the terrorist to Israel and now we have many enemies asking what is the dream of Israel to do with these people that they crushed litterly families of children the thousands and care about them like the criminal group that took the prison camp how much crime is there in gaza how much homeless and people need hospitals what money does it have what does Israel want them as a country with social services in a refugee camp what’s the incentive for them what country is in a fence why should Egypt care about Israel and they also don’t like terrorist and have a problem with ISIS and say the Europe could take them if they want and they don’t have to hide with families they can do better with attacking from Jordan or from Lebanon but they are the majority of the real estate property of the rich country and don’t want to leave this for country that saw the complete humiliation of them on the soil that they had before those from Germany came and yelled Holocaust
