Member of Yemen's Supreme Political Council, Mohammed Ali Al-Houthi, reiterated his continued support for the Palestinian cause, stressing the Yemeni people's steadfastness in supporting their struggle for liberation.

Speaking during a popular demonstration in Saada, northern Yemen, under the slogan "Avenging the Free," Al-Houthi told the Palestinian people, "The conspiracy that was being fought against you failed and you relied only on your struggle."

Al-Houthi added, "We have followed the Zionist aggression as it bombed cemeteries and homes in Gaza," pointing out, that this was a scene Yemenis have seen firsthand when "Saudi Arabia, the US, and the Emirates bombed our cemeteries and homes in Yemen."

The Supreme Political Council member considered that "the miserable regimes that possess all the arsenals of weapons and money stand today incapable of firing a single bullet in solidarity with Palestine," adding, "We see Saudi Arabia and the Emirates, today, vanquished before Yemen, as they see the Iron Dome failing to shelter the Zionists, so how can they [Israeli Occupation] protect countries that have agreed to normalize relations with them."

Mass demonstrations across Yemeni cities

The governorates of Saada, Taiz, Dhamar, Al-Dhalea, Raymah, Hajjah, Amran, Al-Jawf, and Al-Mahweet witnessed massive popular demonstrations, carrying the same slogan the Palestinian Resistance chose for the latest Gaza battle.

The statements released during the demonstrations lauded the operation launched by the Palestinian Resistance movements to avenge the blood of the martyrs and "deter the Zionist enemy."

Moreover, Yemeni officials hailed every military step that the Palestinian resistance movements took in confronting an "enemy that only understands the language of force."

Accusations, denouncement, and pledging readiness

Furthermore, the unified statement praised the unity of "the Palestinian ranks against an arrogant enemy, valuing the great sacrifices of the Palestinian people in service of the cause," and condemned the deafening silence of the international community regarding the continued Israeli crimes against the Palestinian people.

Significantly, the Yemeni officials proclaimed the US to be an essential partner in the Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip.

In that regard, Al-Houthi underscored the Yemeni people's loyalty to the Palestinian cause, reaffirming Yemen's readiness to mobilize on the popular and military levels to practically and directly engage in upcoming confrontations.

Additionally, the statement denounced the wretched and shameful official Arab stance, and condemned the status of the Arab League, which no longer represented the Arab peoples.

The statement urged the peoples of the Arab and Islamic nations to take responsibility and mobilize, at full throttle, in support of the Palestinian Resistance factions.

Lastly, the statement stressed that "the enemy will not be able to restore its deterrence."
