Eilat Port to Close as of July 20 Due to Financial Crisis
Amir Haggag
The Israeli Ports and Maritime Authority, part of the Ministry of Transportation, announced on Wednesday that the port of Eilat will completely cease operations as of next Sunday, July 20, due to the worsening debt crisis.
A letter issued by the National Emergency Authority stated that the closure decision stems from the Eilat Municipality imposing a lien on the port's bank accounts due to accumulated debts, hindering the port's ability to continue operating.
The authority emphasized that this step threatens to halt logistical support for the Israeli Navy in the Red Sea region, warning of potential security repercussions.
Israel had previously requested the United States to resume military operations against the Houthis, citing the Houthis' intensified attacks on maritime traffic in Yemen.
