“Keep away from transport on or dealing with these vessels. Advise your ships to maintain clear of those vessels,Saree mentioned.
The Israeli Protection Ministry referred to as the seizure of the ship a “vital world incident.” On the similar time, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s workplace attributed the incident to Iran.
It was revealed that among the many house owners of the Galaxy Chief cargo ship, which had a crew of individuals from Bulgaria, the Philippines, Ukraine and Mexico totaling 25 members, was Israeli businessman Rami Ungar.
Who’s Rami Ungar?
Abraham Ungar, often called Rami, stands as considered one of Israel’s richest people, who has in depth enterprise pursuits in automotive imports, actual property and serves as chairman of the board of Ray Transport. His efforts to enhance vehicle commerce between Seoul and Israel earned him recognition from the Korean authorities.
Born in 1947 in northern Tel Aviv, Rami comes from a particularly rich household background and was educated in Britain.

Ungar’s shut friendship with Israel’s present Protection Minister Yoav Gallant is nicely documented. Particularly, the businessman purchased tickets for Gallant to attend the FIFA World Cup closing in July 2018.
One other controversy involving Ungar hyperlinks him to Yossi Cohen, the previous director of Israel’s Mossad intelligence service.

Hungary’s hyperlinks with the Mossad transcend mere corruption allegations.
