The entire region is agitated, and the situation marks the beginning of the end of "Israel", Yemeni Supreme Political Council chief Mahdi al-Mashat said Monday.

Al-Mashat praised the Palestinian people and Resistance for the fight they are putting up against the Israeli occupation as part of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood and amid extensive Israeli bombardment on the Gaza Strip.

Al-Mashat affirmed that "the position of the Yemeni Republic is deeply rooted and steadfast like unwavering mountains, alongside our brothers in the Palestinian Resistance, until the establishment of the Palestinian state, whose capital is the holy city of al-Quds."

"The official stance of the subservient leaders of Arab and Islamic countries does not represent the position of the Arab and Islamic peoples," the Yemeni official underlined.

Al-Mashat called the United States arrogant, underlining that the Israeli occupation was a "fragile and perishing entity whose dignity, trampled upon by the honest men in Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, cannot be restored."

The Yemeni people are ready to do everything in their power to fulfill their sacred duty of standing by the Palestinian people, the Yemeni Ansar Allah leader Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi said during a speech commenting on the latest developments in occupied Palestine.

"Our people are ready to mobilize in the hundreds of thousands and join the Palestinian people to confront the enemy, and we will not hesitate to do whatever is possible," he added.

There are red lines when it comes to the situation unfolding in Gaza, and there is coordination between the Axis of Resistance, he said. "We are coordinating with the Axis of Resistance, and if the Americans make a direct military intervention, we are ready to participate, even with missile strikes and drone strikes."

"It is a duty to support the Palestinians with everything in our possession, and it is not permissible for this nation to stand by while Western countries help the criminal enemy," Sayyed al-Houthi stressed.

If Israeli atrocities continue, scope of crisis likely to expand: Iran

Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian asked his Chinese counterpart in a phone call on Sunday that China should use its capacities and potential to stop the attacks of the Israeli occupation against Gaza citizens.

According to a readout of the phone call, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian pointed to the ongoing Israeli war on Gaza and described it as an urgent issue that the International community needs to be urgently addressed.

"The situation in the region is very sensitive and now the urgent priority is to stop the attacks and crimes of the Zionist regime against the women, children, and civilians of Gaza," the Iranian Minister said.

About his recent regional tour and holding meetings with high-ranking officials, as well as the leaders of some Resistance groups in the region, he said, "The situation is very dangerous and worrisome and there is a possibility that the situation will go out of control at any moment."

"If the crimes of the Zionists do not stop and the current criminal attacks against the citizens of Gaza do not end, no one can guarantee that the scope of the crisis will not expand," Amir-Abdollahian further warned.

The Iranian Foreign Minister called on China to use its efforts to stop the Israeli aggression on Gaza, recalling the United Nations Security Council's responsibility for international peace and security.
