265 Mass rallies held in Al-Hodeidah affirming solidarity with Gaza & rejection of deceptive & treacherous deals
Hodeidah – Saba: Al-Hodeidah province witnessed 265 mass rallies on Friday across its various districts under the slogan 'Steadfast with Gaza and Palestine… Rejecting Deceptive and Treacherous Deals,' reaffirming the Yemeni people's unwavering stance in support of the Palestinian cause and opposition to Zionist aggression. The rallies, led in Al-Hodeidah city by Minister of Transport and Public Works Mohammed Al-Qahim, First Deputy Governor Ahmed Al-Bishri, and deputy governors Mohammed Halisy and Ali Kubari, resounded with chants of anger against the Israeli occupation. Participants condemned the brutal massacres committed by the Zionist enemy against the people of Gaza and called for a sweeping Arab and Islamic response that breaks the silence and regional complicity with the Zionist regime. Protesters carried banners denouncing Arab cooperation with the enemy, including the opening of airspace to Israeli warplanes, fuel provision, and vast financial support to the U.S.—a key backer of Israel. They affirmed that Arab inaction stems from official decisions by normalization regimes that have prioritized submission to the enemy over the blood of children and women in Gaza. The people of the Red Sea coast denounced ongoing economic and diplomatic ties with the Israeli entity while Gaza's children suffer from hunger and siege. They warned of suspicious deals aimed at liquidating the Palestinian cause under false pretenses. The rallies condemned the Palestinian Authority's collusion with the occupation, accusing it of aiding in the persecution of resistance fighters and the arrest of freedom-seekers—actions that enable the enemy to shed Palestinian blood with impunity. The crowds in Al-Hodeidah expressed strong support for the speech of the Revolution Leader, Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr Al-Din Al-Houthi, especially his clear warning to the nation about the consequences of complicity with the enemy. They emphasized that inaction will not exempt anyone from divine or historical accountability. They praised the explicit call for jihad in the path of God, viewing it as the only route to repel danger and reject humiliation and submission, affirming that peace cannot be achieved through silence, but through mobilization and confrontation. The demonstrations stressed the need for the Ummah to break free from spiritual blindness, embrace awareness and practical action, and for mosques, universities, and media outlets to play a mobilizing role proportionate to the magnitude of the threat facing Palestine. They saluted the steadfastness of the people and fighters of Gaza, viewing them as a unique model of resilience and sacrifice in the path of God. Protesters called for support of this model—not its distortion—and warned of the consequences of leaving it alone to face a rabid global aggression. Participants insisted that peoples must break out of the cycle of helplessness and bear the heavy responsibility of pressuring regimes, asserting that the time for silence and evasion has passed, and that every free voice is an asset to Palestine. A statement issued by the rallies reaffirmed the Yemeni people's unwavering and active support for the Palestinian cause and total rejection of any retreat or complacency in supporting the oppressed people of Palestine—particularly amid the massacres and famine in Gaza as a result of Zionist aggression backed by the U.S. and the West. It stressed that the genocidal crimes in Gaza, especially death by starvation in front of cameras, are a critical test of the world's humanity, particularly that of the Arab and Islamic nations. The statement urged recognition of the gravity of this stage, whose outcomes will be recorded in the books of deeds, etched in generational memory, judged both in this world and the hereafter. The statement further affirmed that the Yemeni people—its leadership and citizens, military and civilian—will continue advancing their principled stance on Palestine, with trust in God and His promise. They will never be among the negligent, but rather will demonstrate a profound spiritual, humanitarian, and brotherly position before God and history, seeking salvation from punishment , disgrace, and striving for reward in both worlds. The statement welcomed the Yemeni Armed Forces' announcement of entering the fourth stage of military escalation, describing it as a practical embodiment of the Yemeni people's pain and outrage at what is happening in Gaza. It called for the uncompromising implementation of measures against any company from nations that have lost their humanity and continue dealings with the Zionist entity. It also praised the heroic and ongoing operations of resistance factions in Gaza, carried out under extremely harsh humanitarian conditions. The statement affirmed that such operations—alongside the strikes by the Yemeni Armed Forces and any genuine efforts—are the only path, after God, capable of shifting the equation on the ground in Gaza, unlike empty statements and complicit stances. It stressed that even modest military efforts, when compared to the Zionist killing machine supported by global tyrants, remain part of God's inevitable promise of victory and His assured punishment for the oppressors. Finally, the statement warned all agents of betrayal against attempting to stir unrest or chaos within Yemen under any pretext, deeming such acts direct attacks on the honorable stance Yemen has taken toward Palestine, Al-Quds, and Al-Aqsa—built upon great sacrifices, martyrdom, and endurance through siege, conspiracies, and military coalitions. The statement concluded by urging all official and popular components to maintain high vigilance, full mobilization, and continued effort to safeguard Yemen's noble position, seeing it as the people's most valuable asset in this life and their means of salvation in the hereafter.

Mass rally in Capital Sana'a under slogan: 'Steadfast with Gaza, Palestine… Rejecting Deception, Betrayal Deals'
Sana'a – Saba: A massive rally took place on Friday in capital Sana'a, under the slogan: 'Steadfast with Gaza and Palestine… Rejecting Deception and Betrayal Deals'. The demonstration aimed to affirm Yemen's firm support for the Palestinian people and readiness to confront the Israeli enemy and its collaborators. Despite heavy rain, large crowds gathered in al-Sabeen Square, raising banners rejecting the enemies of Allah and calling for freedom, dignity, pride, and jihad. The crowds showed Yemen's unshakable stance in standing by the oppressed people of Palestine, no matter the cost. Protesters strongly rejected any deals involving betrayal or deception, vowing to resist enemy conspiracies and plots, and firmly stand against anyone who dares cooperate with the Israeli occupiers. Amid the rain, they chanted slogans such as: 'With Gaza for the sake of Allah, and jihad for the sake of Allah,' 'All Yemeni squares are with Gaza and Palestine, 'Whoever abandons Gaza for safety, their turn will come and they will regret it, 'O Islamic nation, silence will bring certain punishment,' 'Gaza is your concern, O nation… silence will disgrace you,' 'The starvation in Gaza is a shame on all,' 'America and Zionism are enemies of humanity.' They also chanted: On the anniversary of Ismail Haniyeh… we move forward with pride and passion,' 'No Islam without jihad… either victory or martyrdom, 'O Arabs, where is your honor and anger?' 'O Muslims, where is your courage and faith?' 'In Gaza, there are true men of Allah… a miracle in bravery,' 'O Gaza, soldiers of Allah, we are with you until we meet Allah,' 'Jihad, jihad… rise up for jihad, 'O Gaza, we are with you… you are not alone.' The massive crowds praised the special operations carried out by the Yemeni Armed Forces targeting key Israeli enemy sites in the occupied Palestinian territories. They also welcomed the escalation into the fourth stage of the naval blockade against the Occupation. Protesters reaffirmed their commitment to continued mobilization and high alertness to confront the schemes of enemies and traitors, which aim to weaken Yemen's honorable position in supporting Gaza and Palestine. The protesters condemned the silence and failure of Arab and Islamic governments in the face of genocide and starvation in Gaza. They called on the people of the Muslim world to fulfill their responsibilities in supporting the Palestinian people and rejecting deceptive and treacherous deals. A statement was read by Shaykh Alawi bin Aqeel, the Grand Mufti of Taiz governorate, saying: 'Gaza has been killed and starved for 22 months by the criminal Zionist enemy and its American partner, while the world remains silent, turning a blind eye to the most horrific crimes of genocide ever seen—fully documented by sound and image and standing as a disgrace to humanity.' Aqeel emphasized that out of religious, moral, and human responsibility, the Yemeni people will continue their weekly mass rallies in support of Gaza and all of Palestine, as a form of jihad for Allah's sake and to gain His approval, in defiance of oppressors and the arrogant, and in rejection of betrayal deals. The statement continued: 'Faced with Israeli crimes supported by the U.S. and the West—especially the death of people due to hunger—the world is undergoing a serious test of its humanity. The Islamic nation is being tested in its faith and compassion. The Arab world's test is even harder, as it includes humanity, Islam, and brotherhood. No one is exempt—neither nations, governments, parties, nor movements. The results of this test will be written in Allah's records, remembered by history, and rewarded accordingly in this life and the next.' The statement declared: 'As the Yemeni people, we firmly stick to our official and popular, military and civil, position. By trusting in Allah, we will never back down or accept being listed among the cowardly. We want our stance to be recorded as a faithful, humane, and brotherly position before Allah and people, hoping it will save us from punishment and bring us reward and honor in this world and the Hereafter.' It also welcomed the Yemeni Armed Forces' announcement of moving to the fourth stage of escalation, calling it a step that reflects the deep pain and anger in Yemeni hearts. It urged the fighters to carry out these actions without mercy on any company or entity that still deals with the brutal Israeli occupation regime. The statement praised the continued resistance in Gaza, describing their actions as heroic and legendary despite harsh conditions. It affirmed that such real, serious efforts—along with those of Yemen's forces—are the only hope for change, unlike empty statements and insincere gestures that never helped the oppressed or fed the hungry. The statement concluded: 'Even if our military capacity is less than that of the enemy, which is supported by the world's tyrants, Allah has promised us victory and promised them defeat and humiliation—and Allah never breaks His promise.' It also warned any internal traitors who might try to stir unrest or weaken Yemen's position toward supporting Palestine under any excuse. It considered such efforts to be an attack on Yemen's most noble cause, one for which many martyrs have fallen. The statement concluded 'Whoever thinks they can take us back to surrender, humiliation, and submission to the enemy, is only destroying themselves. We declare that we are at the highest level of readiness, with millions of faithful, sincere, and steadfast people, depending on Allah alone, to confront any plot, attack, or betrayal.' It called on everyone—government and people—to stay alert, mobilized, and active, while trusting in Allah, the Ally of the believers and the enemy of the disbelievers and hypocrites.
