“The hijacking of a cargo ship by the Houthis near Yemen in the southern Red Sea is a very grave incident of global consequence.
“The ship departed Turkey on its way to India, staffed by civilians of various nationalities, not including Israelis. It is not an Israeli ship.”
The office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the incident “represents a stepping up in Iranian aggression against citizens of the free world.”
