Minister in the Finance Ministry Ze’ev Elkin reiterates that the ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah does not include Iran’s proxies in Yemen and Iraq.
“There is no such commitment. They are not acting to help Hezbollah, but to help Hamas. They are Iran’s proxies and there is no ceasefire with them,” Elkin tells Army Radio.
The Yemeni Houthis have attacked Israel and global shipping for over a year, saying they were doing so in support of Palestinian terror group Hamas. Hamas led an invasion of southern Israel on October 7, 2023, in which some 1,200 people were killed and 251 taken hostage, sparking the war in Gaza.
Israel has also been repeatedly attacked by Iraq’s Islamic Resistance in Iraq.
