US responds to Yemeni support for Palestine with aggression
The Yemeni people, their armed forces, and the Ansar Allah movement took a historical decision to support the Palestinian people against the genocidal Israeli war on Gaza. As a result of this stance, the US intensified its aggression on Yemen, targeting the country relentlessly, including residential neighborhoods, schools, hospitals, and other civilian infrastructure.
The President of Yemen's Supreme Political Council, Mahdi al-Mashat, stressed that Yemen remains undeterred by any challenges arising from its stance in supporting Gaza and its Resistance, adding, "We cannot stand by while the Americans and Israelis single out the Palestinian people in Gaza."
In a message addressed to US President Donald Trump, al-Mashat stated that "the Yemeni people are not intimidated by your missiles, bombs, or strategic bombers."
