 Ansarallah Releases Crew Of Galaxy Leader Ship Over One Year Later

Yemeni forces captured the 52-member crew of the Israeli-linked commercial ship in November last year as part of its blockade of Israeli shipping in support of Gaza

The Yemeni government released the crew of the Galaxy Leader commercial ship on 22 January in response to the ceasefire deal to end Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza.

“Based on the directives of the leader, Mr. Abdul Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, the crew of the ship (Galaxy Leader) was released today in coordination with the Hamas movement and the mediation of the Sultanate of Oman,” a statement issued by Yemen’s Supreme Political Council said.

“The release of the crew of the ship Galaxy Leader comes within the framework of the battle to support Gaza and in support of the ceasefire agreement,” the statement added.

After Israel’s genocide on Gaza began in October 2023, the Ansarallah-led Yemeni government stated it would target any Israeli-linked commercial ships attempting to pass through the Red Sea off the Yemeni coast.

On 19 November 2023, 52 crew members on the Israeli-owned Galaxy Leader were detained by Yemeni naval forces who intercepted and seized the vessel in the Red Sea.
