Houthi leader in Yemen Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi threatened Israel and said they are “closely monitoring the situation in Somaliland and the actions of the Israeli enemy aimed at controlling the Gulf of Aden, Bab al-Mandeb and the Red Sea, and we call on the countries located on the Red Sea coast to adopt a united stance against the activities of the Israeli enemy.” He added: “We will not stand idly by in the face of an Israeli presence in Somaliland. We will act at any time to strike any concentration of the Israeli enemy in Somaliland.”
