The Israeli newspaper Maariv quoted the CEO of the Eilat Port, Gideon Golber, as saying that “work in the port has completely stopped because ships are unable to pass in any direction to reach the port due to the attacks by the Ansar Allah group (Houthis) in the Red Sea.”
He added, “As of November 2023, the port was closed due to the ongoing crisis in the Red Sea, and its activities were transferred to the ports of Ashdod and Haifa, and a large number of workers were laid off.”
Golber confirmed that the port’s losses amounted to 50 million shekels, or about 14 million dollars, and could increase if Israel does not take measures with its allies to stop the attacks.
