“Yemen’s Million-Man Rally Signals Strong Support for Gaza and Resistance Movements”
A massive demonstration, reportedly involving millions, took place in the capital city of Sana’a, as Yemenis gathered to express their solidarity with the Palestinian people and the broader axis of resistance in the region.
On Friday, the Yemeni population gathered for a rally under the banner “In response to, and in support of Palestinian people, we are steadfast and prepared for the next round.”
Protesters have once again expressed their unwavering support for Palestinians, highlighting the ongoing suffering in the Gaza Strip which they describe as genocide at the hands of Israel.
In light of continued acts by Israeli forces that contravene the ceasefire agreement supported by the United States, demonstrators gathered, voicing their commitment with chants such as, “We remain steadfast with Gaza,” and “Gaza, our principles hold firm, ready to confront adversaries.”
They also declared their solidarity with Iran and Lebanon in opposition to what they describe as American and Israeli oppression and arrogance.
During a rally, demonstrators expressed their backing for any “appropriate” action taken by the leader of Yemen’s Ansarullah movement, Abdul Malik al-Houthi, in response to aggression against nations opposing the “Zionist-American” influence.
Protesters voiced their sentiments by chanting slogans such as “Yemen of wisdom and faith… with Iran and Lebanon,” and “O all Muslim peoples… rise up against the crimes.” These chants expressed their condemnation of perceived Arab silence in response to what they described as American arrogance and Israeli actions.
In a statement released by the organizers of the protest, the Yemeni populace has expressed their full preparedness for an upcoming round of confrontation with the Israeli adversary, along with its allies and partners.
The recent disclosure of documents pertaining to the case of the late convicted American sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has unveiled alleged corruption and abuse among Western elites. In response, a statement highlighted that these developments enhance “our awareness, certainty, and conviction about the truth we uphold and the appropriate course of action.”
The statement claims that divine intervention has exposed the purported moral decay of Zionist adversaries, highlighting what it describes as their shocking and unparalleled degeneracy. The statement particularly points to the international scandal involving Jeffrey Epstein, Trump, and leaders from America and the West, as well as alleged hypocrites in the region.
On Friday, comparable demonstrations occurred across various Yemeni provinces, including Sa’ada, Hudaydah, Hajjah, Ibb, Lahej, Bayda, Dhamar, Dhale, Ma’rib, and Raymah.
The protests coincided with a call from Abdul Malik al-Houthi for a large-scale rally scheduled for Friday. The gathering aims to demonstrate solidarity with Muslim nations and to denounce what al-Houthi terms as American-Zionist conspiracies against the Islamic Ummah.
Since Israel initiated military operations in the Gaza Strip in October 2023, Yemeni forces have conducted numerous operations in solidarity with the affected residents of Gaza. These actions have included striking various locations within the occupied Palestinian territories and targeting Israeli ships or vessels bound for ports in those regions.
The Health Ministry in Gaza reports that the conflict with Israel has resulted in the deaths of over 71,803 Palestinians.
In the previous year, a delicate ceasefire agreement, facilitated by the United States, was established in the region. Nevertheless, despite the truce, Israeli forces have reportedly been responsible for the deaths of over 576 Palestinians.
