After the Israeli attack in the port of Hodeidah yesterday (Saturday), Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana tweeted on the social network X in Arabic: "This is a message to the entire Middle East" - above a picture of the enormous conflagration at the Hodeida port; this caused a wave of counter reactions from around the Arab world.

The tweet reached millions of views and thousands of comments within 12 hours, most of them from tweeters from the Middle East, as reported by Ynet News.

The former Secretary General of the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency), the Egyptian Mohamed ElBaradei, responded by tweeting to his 6 million followers: "A message from the occupier."
