He stressed the need for integrated roles among all relevant media entities, maintaining steadfastness and high morale, and utilizing available resources to enhance national media performance—ensuring Yemen's voice, which the enemy seeks to silence, continues to be heard. He urged delivering the media message to global public opinion and exposing the falsehoods propagated by the enemy and its mercenaries.
The First Deputy Prime Minister praised the efforts of the Ministry of Information, media outlets, journalists, and activists despite challenges. He highlighted the importance of involving private media and social media activists in countering disinformation campaigns by the country's enemies and raising public awareness on confronting Israeli aggression, providing them with emergency guidelines.
For his part, Minister of Information Hashim Sharafuddin affirmed that in facing any Israeli aggression, the Ministry and the media front bear a critical responsibility in mobilizing public opinion and strengthening national resilience. He stated that the media battle requires a strong, steadfast, and unified national media characterized by stability, awareness, and responsibility, embodying a spirit of moral resistance.
Sharafuddin outlined the Ministry's vision to preempt and respond to any Israeli escalation, including media strategies, lessons from Iran's media confrontation during Israeli aggression, and countering the propaganda of Yemeni traitors serving Zionist agendas.
He emphasized accuracy, objectivity, transparency, national unity, high morale, countering enemy psychological warfare, and effectively employing all media channels while maintaining professionalism.
Sharafuddin also stressed the importance of social media in rapidly countering rumors, translation efforts, creating multilingual accounts, and using sponsored content in English to reach Western audiences. He highlighted the need to engage with Arab, Islamic, and international media to present Yemen's narrative objectively.
Deputy Minister of Information Dr. Omar Al-Bukhayti underscored coordinating efforts to highlight Yemeni victories against forces of arrogance and domination. He reviewed aspects of the Ministry's emergency plan, ensuring Yemeni media's continuity despite challenges, citing an Iranian TV channel's quick recovery after being bombed as a media victory over Israel.
The meeting included interventions and discussions by journalists and activists on the media vision and emergency plans for official and private media.

Over 1,000 houses destroyed, hundreds of families homeless in Tulkarm & its camps
Tulkarm – Saba: For the 158th consecutive day in Tulkarm and its camps (Tulkarm Camp and Nur Shams), and the 145th day in Nur Shams Camp, Israeli occupation forces continue their escalating aggression, carrying out raids, arrests, and systematic destruction of infrastructure. This has led to a worsening humanitarian catastrophe and the displacement of thousands. Researcher Riam Badou, speaking to the Palestinian news agency "Shehab," stated, "The aggression continues daily, leaving widespread destruction in residential buildings and infrastructure, along with mass displacement under harsh humanitarian conditions." Badou revealed that "over 1,000 residential buildings have been completely demolished, each housing three to four families, leaving them homeless." She added that "the number of displaced people in Tulkarm and Nur Shams camps has exceeded 25,000, living in extremely dire humanitarian conditions amid a lack of aid and Israeli restrictions on relief efforts." Badou accused the Israeli occupation of "attempting to alter the demographic character of Nur Shams Camp by constructing new streets and roads inside the camp, a move aimed at erasing its symbolic significance as a living testament to the Palestinian refugee cause." In a legal development, Badou noted that an Israeli court recently issued a temporary freeze on demolition orders for 104 residential buildings in Tulkarm Camp after occupation forces had ordered their destruction. The court gave the prosecution until September 2 to justify the planned demolitions. In the latest escalation, on the evening of Thursday, July 3, 61-year-old citizen Waleed Hassan Saad Badeer was martyred by Israeli forces' gunfire near Nur Shams Camp, east of Tulkarm, in ongoing violence that has persisted for over five months.

Al-Qabaita district holds rallies for Gaza, vows readiness against aggression
Lahj - Saba: Residents of al-Qabaita district in Lahj governorate on Friday participated in two massive marches and a rally under the slogan "Steadfast with Gaza, Readiness and Mobilization to Confront Aggression," demonstrating unwavering support for the oppressed Palestinian people and commitment to continued resistance. In the presence of local officials and military leaders, participants in al-Hajar, al-Yusufayn, and Dhamran chanted slogans affirming their combat readiness against any Zionist escalation. The participants reiterated their steadfast support for the Palestinian people against Israeli aggression and the systematic starvation in Gaza, which is occurring in full view of the world. The crowds renewed their absolute mandate to Revolution Leader Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi to take all appropriate actions to support the Palestinian people and their brave resistance until the temporary "usurping entity" is eliminated. A statement from Lahj residents strongly condemned the continued silence of most Arab and Islamic regimes regarding the brutal massacres and genocidal crimes committed by the Zionist-American enemy in Gaza. The statement decried global complicity and the deceptive, ineffective verbal stances that embolden the enemy, warning that this critical situation threatens the nation's present and future. The statement affirmed that the Yemeni people, under their wise leadership and Quranic project, will not waver from their steadfast support for Gaza and all of Palestine, undeterred by threats from Zionists, Americans, or their proxies. It highlighted that the heroic steadfastness of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, despite immense sacrifices, remains an inspiration that lack of resources does not justify surrender. The statement called on Arab and Muslim peoples and regimes to boycott Israeli and American products that support the criminal Zionist entity, emphasizing that boycott is an effective and accessible weapon. It concluded by reaffirming the commitment to weekly mass rallies in steadfast support of the Palestinian people, with full readiness to confront any aggression.
