Pro-Palestine Red Sea strikes force Israel’s Eilat Port to plan layoffs
Israel’s Eilat Port plans to lay off half of its 120 employees due to the adverse financial effects generated by tensions in the Red Sea.
Over the past months of Israel’s campaign of death and destruction in the besieged Gaza Strip, Yemen’s armed forces have targeted ships either owned by the regime or linked to it sailing toward the occupied Palestinian territories.
In consequence, shipping firms have been forced to reroute and skip the Red Sea over security concerns.
The port management announced its layoff plan on Wednesday. It said the move was the final option after months of losses and inactivity.
The announcement triggered a protest by the workers.
Eilat is crucial to the regime in that it is adjacent to Jordan’s only coastal access point at Aqaba and offers Israel a gateway to the East, eliminating the need to navigate the Suez Canal.
On February 29, the leader of Yemen’s Ansarullah movement, Abdul Malik al-Houthi, said Yemen’s armed forces will introduce “military surprises” in their Red Sea operations.
“Our military operations will continue and advance and we have surprises that our enemies will not expect at all.”
