Hamas's representative in Yemen, Muath Abu Shamala, affirmed that Yemen's stance and its armed forces' support for the Resistance in Gaza is "the clearest example of challenging the unjust US administration."

In an interview with Al-Wahda newspaper, Abu Shamala emphasized that Yemen's position in disrupting the enemy and its allies' economic lifeline in the Red Sea manifested a major shift in the balance of power, saying it was one example out of many to pressure the enemy, including missiles and drones, particularly targeting the capital of the Israeli entity, Tel Aviv.

He reiterated that the Resistance remains steadfast on the ground, inflicting losses on the enemy's forces, targeting occupied territories with missiles, and thwarting the enemy's plans, which include the unrealistic goal of eliminating Hamas and the Resistance, and returning the Israeli captives held in Gaza.

"Here we are, more than a year later, as Hamas remains unbreakable, and despite the massive destruction in the heroic Gaza Strip, the enemy has been unable to retrieve its captives alive. All of this is an indication that the Resistance still possesses strength that the enemy has been unable to crush, and instead, it suffers daily losses."

He further slammed the stances taken by the Arab regimes as "disgraceful" and "cowardly", stressing that they would be written down in history's darkest pages.

Regarding the international community's silence, particularly that of the United Nations, Abu Shamala said "This international silence convinces us that there is no such thing as international law or human rights law, and that this world is governed by the rule of the jungle, where the strongest survives. This drives us, as a nation, to cling to our sources of power and to produce our own weapons."

"As for those who remain silent in this world, they are either supporters of this genocide and its proponents, or they are bowing to American and Western pressures."

Yemen will continue to escalate until the aggression stops

Earlier today, the leader of the Yemeni Ansar Allah movement, Sayyed Abdul-Malik Badreddine al-Houthi, stated that Yemeni operations continue to "target ships linked to the Israeli, American, and British enemies and Israeli positions in occupied Palestine. "

"The Yemeni forces will continue to escalate with everything they have and will strive to achieve greater and stronger objectives."

Furthermore, Sayyed al-Houthi called on the Yemeni people to continue their movement, activities, marches, and demonstrations, as part of their show of support to Palestine.

"A large turnout at the event tomorrow is of immense importance so that the Americans and all the tyrants of the world can hear [your voices] and affirm to our people that you are not deterred by any tyrant in this world," he told the Yemeni people.

"Your participation tomorrow confirms that we will never retreat from our position in supporting the Palestinian people and standing by them, no matter what challenges we face," he concluded.
