"The possibility of the release of the two Bulgarian sailors from the captured ship "Galaxy Leader" will be considered," said the spokesman of the Houthi movement "Ansar Allah" Nasradin Almer to "Maritime.bg".
He claims that the Yemeni rebels have nothing against Bulgaria and the countries that do not show aggression in Gaza. Nasradin Almer - chairman of the board of directors of the "Ansar Allah" news agency, said that on Saturday he was with the sailors of the "Galaxy Leader", they were in excellent condition and had the opportunity to talk with their relatives.
Alexander Todorov from Maritime.bg explained to BNT that they were in contact with the "Ansar Allah" movement a week after the ship was seized. According to him, the vessel is currently located north of the port of Hodeida, where the captain and the senior assistant captain are Bulgarians.
Alexander Todorov clarified that the sailors are fine and communication is allowed between them and their relatives on the shore.
"After we relayed a call from the families for the release of the sailors, Ameer said that this issue will most likely be addressed at the highest level in the Ansar Allah movement, as the Houthis understand that the sailors have nothing to do with what happening in the Gaza Strip, which he says is genocide! Also, Amer stated that the blockade of the Red Sea and Bab el Mandeb, which they imposed on ships bound to Israel, remains in force, despite airstrikes by USA and Great Britain," added Todorov.
Nasradin Almer also emphasized that European leaders should put pressure on Israel to stop the bloodshed in Gaza. /BGNES
