Yemen releases crew of UK-owned ship after Gaza ceasefire
Yemen says it has released the crew of the British-owned cargo ship Galaxy Leader, which was seized in support of Palestinians shortly after Israel launched its campaign of genocide in the Gaza Strip in October 2023.
Yemen's Supreme Political Council “announced the freeing of the crew of the Galaxy Leader, who were arrested on November 19, 2023."
It said the move came “in support of the ceasefire" that took hold in Gaza on Sunday.
The crew is comprised of 25 nationals from Bulgaria, Ukraine, the Philippines, Mexico and Romania.
The Bahamas-flagged cargo ship was seized by Ansarullah fighters, who targeted ships either owned by the Israeli regime or sailing toward Israeli ports in a strong gesture sympathetic to Palestinians in Gaza.
The Ansarullah resistance group launched more than 100 attacks on commercial and military vessels in the Red Sea, along with some in the Mediterranean.
Ansarullah leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi said on Monday that the resistance fighters are ready to resume anti-Israeli operations if Tel Aviv violates the ceasefire deal in Gaza.
