Director of Eilat Port:

— Eilat port has received only two ships since the end of November 2023.

— As a result of preventing Israeli shipping and ships related to Israel, we lose between 6 and 10 million shekels per month.

— In the months of November and December, we received support, but this support did not even cover the salaries of the employees.

Israel's main maritime relations are with East Asian countries, especially India and Singapore. The military operation of the Yemeni armed forces in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden is the main cause of disruption in the work of this port. Despite the help of Arab countries in creating a land corridor from the Persian Gulf to the occupied territories, many damages have been imposed to Israeli ports, especially the Eilat port.

Palestine justice activist, former Jesuit, Desmond Sequeira, wrote to the Pope.

"Your Holiness, I respectfully urge you to demand that President Joseph Biden, who claims to be a good Catholic, brings an immediate end to the catastrophe in Palestine-Israel."
