Yemeni President Mahdi Al-Mashat has declared a ban on all US products across the country. The order will take effect immediately after a three-month grace period.

Mashat announced the decision on Wednesday in response to US support for Israel’s genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.

“We will take strict action against anyone who ignores the boycott decision,” the president warned, calling on Yemenis to shun businesses and individuals who continue to engage with US and Israeli products.

The announcement follows the government’s decision to sanction 15 weapons manufacturing companies in the United States for supporting the Israeli regime.

According to the government, the sanctions are part of efforts to undermine the capabilities of the Israeli regime to continue its daily massacres of children and women in the Gaza Strip. 

Yemeni armed forces have been attacking Israeli and US targets in support of Palestinians in Gaza since Tel Aviv launched its devastating war on the besieged Palestinian territory in October 2023.

The operations have effectively shut down the Eilat port south of the occupied territories, causing significant economic setbacks for Israel.

Yemen’s armed forces have vowed to continue the attacks until Israel stops its attacks in Gaza.
