Massive morning demonstrations took place today, Friday, in several Yemeni provinces under the title "Our Front is Jihad... steadfast with Gaza until victory," in support of the resilience and resistance of the Palestinian people amid the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip.

The demonstrations spread across various locations, including Saada City, Shua'ara, Bani Sayyah, al-Hijla in the Razih District, and several arenas in Ghamr, Qatabir, Bani Bahr, and al-Zahir in northern Yemen.

The demonstrators also authorized the leader of the Ansar Allah movement in Yemen, Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, to take necessary measures in support of the Palestinian people.

A statement released by the demonstrators urged Arab and Islamic communities, along with people worldwide, to take action to halt the Israeli offensive on Rafah with US and Western backing. It also called for boycotting American and Israeli goods and companies supporting them.

The statement commended the stances of countries refusing to participate in the aggression against the Yemeni people and support the Zionist enemy, particularly those overlooking the Red Sea.

The protests also hailed "impactful and escalating" operations of Palestinian, Lebanese, and Iraqi Resistance fighters. They also reiterated support for the Yemeni Armed Forces' operations against Israeli, American, and British ships.

Speaking at one of the rallies, the member of the Supreme Political Council in Yemen, Mohammad Ali al-Houthi, emphasized that "the Red Sea is no longer a playground for the Americans to roam and play around in."

He stated further that "our direct struggle represents a breakthrough against the aggression we face from American and British forces," further highlighting that "Yemen's heroes have emerged from all fronts despite the airstrikes and blockade."
 
Elsewhere in his remarks, al-Houthi urged "all Arab nations to mobilize, demonstrate, and persist in exerting pressure on the belligerent enemy until the aggression comes to an end."

Al-Houthi blames US as chief perpetrator of crimes in Gaza

Yemeni leader Sayyed Abdul Malik al-Houthi said, on Thursday, that the malevolent powers are employing their capabilities and their most developed means of murder and supplying them to the Israeli occupation to kill the Palestinian people in Gaza.

Addressing the Israeli aggression on Gaza, Sayyed al-Houthi underlined during his speech that the same weapons being used against heavy armaments and entire armies are being used by the occupation to bomb children and women in Gaza.

This level of criminality, he said, killing tens of thousands of women and children and maintaining this pace of aggression, in addition to the great extent of damage and killing and criminality for the fifth month in a row, all goes back to the support of the United States.

The Yemeni leader accused the United States of being the chief party to blame for the genocide in Gaza.
