Defense Minister: Yemen’s stance on Palestine Is Unchangeable
SANAA, March 31 (YPA) -The Yemeni Minister of Defense, Major General Mohammed Nasser al-Atifi, reaffirmed Yemen’s unwavering support for the Palestinian people in Gaza, emphasizing that this commitment is grounded in strong ethical, humanitarian, and Islamic values, regardless of the ongoing challenges and threats facing Yemen.
In a statement to Yemen News Agency (SABA), Al-Atifi emphasized that Yemen’s stance towards Palestine will not change, no matter the risks or challenges are.
He added, “We yearn for peace and work tirelessly to safeguard security and stability in the region. The Yemeni people cannot remain silent or neutral in the face of the chaos and destruction caused by Zionist ambitions that have spread throughout the Arab world, supported by global powers like the US and the UK.”
Al-Atifi continued: “The legitimacy of Yemen’s national, regional, and international position against Zionist barbarism is increasing every day. Yemen and its armed forces have taken on the responsibility of this historic and decisive confrontation, preparing all necessary capabilities and options for both the current and future stages of this struggle.
The Yemeni armed forces are implementing the important directives of the nation’s leader, Sayyid Abdul-Malik Badreddin al-Houthi, to carry out their religious, national, and humanitarian responsibilities.
Yemen is determined to confront the enemies of the nation who are committing grave crimes, particularly against the children and women of Gaza, who embody steadfastness, dignity, and honor.”
The Minister of Defense emphasized that the revolutionary leadership’s decision to confront Israeli aggression is final and non-negotiable, with no room for compromise.
Al-Atifi stated that the Yemeni armed forces have resumed their military operations against the Zionist enemy deep in response to its’s brutal attacks on Gaza, which violate regional and international laws and agreements.
The Minister of Defense stated “Yemen, with its armed forces and strong backing from the Leader of the Revolution, now possesses a multi-purpose military arsenal.”
“The armed forces have established a qualitative industrial base and are steadily advancing in this direction, with doors to success wide open. We possess vast and significant capabilities and surprises in military manufacturing and war production that will astonish the enemy and reassure our allies,” he underlined.
He emphasized that Yemen is consistently advancing its capabilities, including the development of drones and hypersonic missiles, boosting its defense strength to create a significant impact on the ground and restore regional balance, challenging the geopolitical disruption imposed by what he called the “Empire of Evil.”
Al-Atifi also noted that Yemen understands the true nature of the Trump administration’s aggression, which defends Zionism and fights a proxy war against the Yemeni people.
He asserted that US aggression will not weaken Yemen’s resolve but will only strengthen it, and the Yemeni forces are prepared for a long-term confrontation. Despite any military buildup by the US, Yemen believes it can defeat their ambitions and will hold them accountable for their brutal attacks on civilians, including women and children.
Al-Atifi praised the readiness and high spirit of Yemen’s armed forces, which continue to support Gaza amid ongoing genocide and siege by Israeli forces with US complicity.
He concluded by stating that Yemen’s military has become a formidable force, capable of securing victories, not only for Yemen but also for the vital causes of the Ummah, foremost among them the Palestinian cause.
