This morning, massive demonstrations were held in the cities of Saada, al-Marazem, and the Razih and Ghamr Districts west of northern Yemen, under the slogan: “Yemen and Palestine are in one trench,” in support of Palestinian people and condemnation of American-British aggression against Yemen.
The statement of the demonstrations confirmed “the unity of the path and destiny for the Yemeni and Palestinian peoples.”
The statement said, “We will continue at all levels to support Gaza and the Palestinian people until victory, and we denounce the positions of those who are silent.”
The statement also lauded "the operations of the Yemeni armed forces and those of Resistance movements in Palestine, Lebanon and Iraq."
It also stressed that "the American and British strikes on Yemen are a violation of Yemeni sovereignty, whose aggression will not go unpunished," urging the people to continue " the economic boycott campaign of American and Israeli goods and the companies that support them."
Sanaa and several Yemeni governorates witness mass demonstrations every Friday, in support of the Palestinian people in the face of Israeli aggression.
Sayyed al-Houthi: US starving Gaza, turned the Red Sea into a battlefield
The leader of the Yemeni Ansar Allah movement, Sayyed Abul-Malik al-Houthi, lambasted the United States for its role in supplementing and supporting the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, during his weekly address to the Yemeni people and the Ummah at large on Thursday.
Sayyed al-Houthi underlined the essential role that Washington plays in extending the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, holding the US administration accountable for piled-up humanitarian aid outside the Gaza Strip and the closure of the Rafah border crossing.
Moreover, the leader pointed to the ongoing US-UK-led aggression on Yemen, which the two Western nations claim aims to secure international maritime trade routes. Contrary to US-UK claims, Sayyed al-Houthi said that Washington "does not care about the threat to international navigation and the fact that it has turned the Red Sea into a battlefield, nor about the arrival of food and medicine to the people of Gaza."
He added, "[The US] has no problem with expanding the conflict [and increasing tensions in the region]."
Regarding the international public stance on the Israeli war, he emphasized the need for the demonstrations in Western countries to continue, namely in Europe and the United States.
However, he said that "there must be broader and escalating actions to pressure the heinous and brutal crime against the Palestinian people to stop."
"Mass popular movement has great importance in demanding an end to the aggression on Gaza and ending the crime against the Palestinian people," Sayyed al-Houthi said, noting that "people suffering severe oppression from their regimes can boycott American and Israeli goods."
