Millions of Yemenis stage mass rallies across Yemen in support of Gaza

SANAA, May 17 (YPA) -Millions of Yemenis staged on Friday massive rallies across the country in solidarity with the Palestinian people and their resistance, under the slogan “With Gaza:  Holy Jihad and No Red Lines.”

Participants in the protests reaffirmed their continuation of general mobilization in response to recent escalation by US, UK and Zionist aggression forces.

They declared their unwavering support for the fourth phase to further confront the Zionist, American, and British enemies, as long as they persist in their aggression against the Palestinian and Yemeni people.

A statement issued during the rallies, hailing the legendary steadfastness of the Palestinian people and their heroic fighters in this decisive and fateful phase, thwarting and foiling the plans of the Israeli enemy.

The rallies’ statement affirmed that the Yemeni people would confront the escalation and aggression of the enemies against Palestine with their own escalation in the fourth phase, which would suffocate the Israeli enemy.

“We say to the American and British enemies, you will not be able to protect the Israeli enemy from our strikes, and you will not deter us from continuing our steadfast and principled stance, neither by persuasion nor intimidation. Everything you threaten us with is nothing before the punishment of God and His fire, and everything you desire does not represent anything before the pleasure of God and His paradise,” the statement read.

Addressing the Arab regimes gathered in Manama near the embassy of the Israeli enemy, the statement regretted to inform them that the Zionist enemy had committed over three thousand one hundred eighty-five massacres to date. It was enough for one massacre to stir your consciences, not to fight alongside Palestine, which is your duty, but at least to allow your people to come out in support of the Palestinian people.

It called on the peoples of the Arab and Islamic nation to fulfill their responsibilities towards the continued genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza and to economically boycott the enemies.

The statement commended the ongoing student protests in American and Western universities, condemning repression and attacks on pro-Palestinian protesters that undermine all human rights slogans.

The statement also praised the heroic operations of the Mujahideen in Palestine, Lebanon, and Iraq, as well as qualitative operations carried out by the Yemeni armed forces, which reached the Mediterranean Sea to the north and the Indian Ocean to the south.
