The statement hailed the 'defeat of the American enemy and the collapse of its goals,' offering congratulations to Ansar Allah leader Abdul Malik Al-Houthi, the Yemeni armed forces, and 'all free people of the Islamic nation.'
Participants described the rally as both an act of gratitude to God for the failure of the US campaign and a bold stand against the Israeli enemy. They reaffirmed their full support for the Palestinian cause and for the fighters in Gaza, emphasizing that Yemen would never abandon its moral, religious, and fraternal duty to stand by them.
'The Yemeni people will not abandon Gaza, nor will they betray their values by turning their backs on their brothers,' the statement read.
The statement also praised recent military operations by Yemeni forces, including a strike on the so-called Ben Gurion Airport, which they described as a significant success. Protesters vowed to continue escalating resistance, enhancing their military capabilities, and confronting both US and Israeli occupation forces across all domains.
Condemnation of Regional Complicity
Protesters expressed regret over the state of some Arab and Islamic regimes, accusing them of not only abandoning the struggles of their people but actively conspiring with external enemies.
In contrast, they praised Oman's diplomatic efforts to promote peace and de-escalation across the region, acknowledging its role in protecting regional stability and mediating conflicts.

Conflicting reports on Lebanese response to US paper
Conflicting reports on Lebanese response to US paper Sources from the presidential panel drafting Lebanon's response to the U.S. paper have said that 'the atmosphere of the discussions is very positive,' in remarks to al-Joumhouria newspaper. 'The viewpoints are all intersecting on what serves Lebanon's interest, which can be certainly secured through halting Israeli attacks and Israel's commitment to the ceasefire agreement, the release of the Lebanese captives and withdrawal from the Lebanese areas it is occupying,' the sources added. A political leader meanwhile told the daily that 'the U.S. paper is not sacred' and is merely 'the beginning of a discussion.' 'The Americans are saying that it is an opportunity for a political solution and our stance is known to be supportive of political solutions. We are approaching it through keenness on Lebanon's interest, which means that Lebanon's interest comes first and that we reject anything that contradicts with this interest,' the political leader added. Asked about Hezbollah's arms, the leader said 'the president has assumed the responsibility of addressing the file of arms in a calm manner.' Informed sources meanwhile told the al-Anbaa news portal of the Progressive Socialist Party that 'things are headed to solutions' and that 'Hezbollah has become convinced that clinging to its arms might bring it harm and make it once again subject to U.S.-backed Israeli strikes.' 'Nothing prevents a repetition of the scenario that was followed with Hamas in the South, Dahieh and Beirut, and accordingly Hezbollah is not willing to engage in a new adventure with Israel,' the sources added. An-Nahar newspaper meanwhile said that Hezbollah 'has not facilitated the mission of the tripartite committee' formed by President Joseph Aoun, Speaker Nabih Berri and PM Nawaf Salam, and that 'the committee received several Hezbollah conditions through Berri's representative that called for rejecting submission to the U.S. and Israeli demands, which at best reflects an intransigent stance.'
