Houthis namecheck George Galloway in message to Sunak as cargo ship sinks

From Sky News

A senior Houthi leader has namechecked newly-elected MP George Galloway in a message blaming Rishi Sunak for the first sinking of a rebel-attacked vessel in the Red Sea.

The Belize-registered Rubymar was struck by an anti-ship ballistic missile on 18 February and sunk at around 2.15am on Saturday.

Houthi rebels, who control parts of Yemen, have been attacking vessels in the Red Sea since November in what they say is a show of solidarity for the people of Gaza.

According to US Central Command: “The ship had been slowly taking on water since the unprovoked attack.

Senior Houthi leader Mohammed Ali al Houthi wrote on X that Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and the UK government are responsible for the sinking – and the environmental disaster that will likely ensue. (she was carrying ammonium phosphate sulphate fertiliser)

“We say to Sunak you and your government bear responsibility Ship M/V Rubymar and the responsibility to support genocide and siege in Gaza.”

Having falsely claimed the vessel was UK-owned, the militant leader also said Mr Sunak has a “chance to salvage” it, by “sending a letter of guarantee… signed by George Galloway, that the relief trucks agreed upon at that time would enter Gaza”

Ghastly George has a high opinion of himself, but there is no need to feed his delusions of grandeur.
