It also condemned the stance of some Arab regimes supporting the Israeli occupation entity, calling for more awareness in support of the Palestinian people and urging the free people of the nation not to be deceived by the misleading policies of the occupation entity and its tools.
The statement expressed the Yemeni people's condemnation of the complicit stance of some Arab sides with the Israeli occupation entity and their contribution in defending it militarily, politically, and media-wise.
Furthermore, it hailed the Yemeni Armed Forces for their operations in solidarity with the Palestinian people, calling on the Yemeni Navy and Air Force to continue targeting ships affiliated with the Israeli occupation entity until the aggression stops and the siege on the Palestinian people in Gaza is lifted. In the same context, the statement praised the heroic operations of the Resistance movements in Palestine, Lebanon, and Iraq.
It also extended condolences to the head of the political bureau of Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh, whose sons and grandchildren were killed at the hands of the Israeli occupation forces, and commended the cohesion and solidarity among the leadership of the Palestinian factions.
Elsewhere, the statement congratulated the Iranian people and leadership for the successful and strong retaliatory attack against Israeli targets.
