Culture minister honors delegates at Palestine conference, showcases Sana'a heritage
Minister of Culture and Tourism Dr. Ali al-Yafei has honored delegates from Arab, Islamic, and foreign nations participating in the "Palestine: The Central Issue of the Nation" conference.
During the ceremony, Minister al-Yafei welcomed the delegates to Sana'a, praising their role in raising global awareness about the Palestinian cause.
The Minister stressed the importance of the conference in reframing the Palestinian issue as a central and non-negotiable cause for the Arab world. He highlighted the conference's critical timing, as it coincides with what he described as the "most horrific war of genocide in history" being waged against the Palestinian people in Gaza.
The Minister also emphasized the conference's role in shedding light on the regional and international repercussions of this "war of extermination," and the challenges faced by Palestinians in confronting the "American-Israeli war machine."
Minister al-Yafei praised the participants' commitment to attending, viewing it as a victory for "human values" against "falsehood" and "imperialist forces" seeking to dominate and exploit resources. He noted the conference's significance in raising awareness of the Palestinian cause as a human rights and humanitarian issue, and in facilitating the exchange of expertise among academics and politicians from around the world.
He further pointed out the conference's contribution to highlighting the tragic humanitarian situation in Gaza and increasing global awareness of the ongoing human rights violations there.
The Minister called for the conference to expand solidarity with the Palestinian people and encourage the development of an international support network of academics and activists working towards justice and opposing "American-Zionist oppression."
Delegates, along with the Minister and other officials, toured historical landmarks in Sana'a's Old City, gaining insights into its ancient industries and cultural heritage, dating back to the 5th century BC.

"Democratic Front" Calls on Arab States, European Union to Assume Responsibility Towards Gaza Strip
Damascus - Saba: The Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine called today, Wednesday, on Arab states, in cooperation with the European Union countries, to assume their political, moral, and legal responsibilities towards the people of the Gaza Strip, who are suffering from hunger, malnutrition, exhaustion, thirst, and lack of water and medicine, turning the Strip into a place of daily death before the eyes and ears of the world. In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba), the Front pointed out that the state of helplessness has allowed the occupying state to commit crimes and openly challenge international will and the principles of international and humanitarian law, under blatant support from the U.S. administration, which continues to issue false promises to stop the war and the deaths in the Strip. The Democratic Front said: The group of Arab states possesses influential elements of pressure and action that enable it to play the required role, in cooperation with the international community, especially the European Union, and to put an end to the policy of death sweeping the Strip—children, women, and the elderly—in scenes that break the hearts of humanity. It considered that 'the failure to activate these elements of power raises dozens of question marks among our peoples regarding the truth behind Arab positions and claims, and the decisions of Arab summits concerning the place and status of the Palestinian cause in Arab political calculations, and about the true sense of human, fraternal, and moral responsibility towards our people suffering the scourge of siege and daily killing.' The Democratic Front added: For its part, the European Union also possesses elements of power no less important than those of the Arabs, especially as the EU is the primary trade partner of the occupying state, and it is bound with it by agreements related to human rights and their respect, enabling it to impose its will on Israel and deter it, forcing it to open the crossings and allow the entry of aid as a minimum step to alleviate the suffering of women and children, in response to the Palestinian human being's right to food and to preserve his human dignity. The Democratic Front concluded: The history of humanity is documenting the humanitarian tragedy in the Gaza Strip, while also recording the positions of all parties, especially those that are influential and capable of intervention and putting an end to this tragedy. History will not forgive. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print more of (International)
