Sana'a: Sana'a Governorate witnessed on Friday massive popular rallies and tribal gatherings in solidarity with the Palestinian people in Gaza, held under the slogan: 'With Gaza: Jihad and Steadfastness. In Anger Over Spilled Blood and Violated Sanctities.'
According to Yemen News Agency, participants in the rallies, which took place in more than 50 main squares across the districts of Manakha, Sa'fan, and both al-Haymatayn, as well as in mosque courtyards in villages and localities across the governorate, raised the Yemeni and Palestinian flags as a symbol of unity in confronting the enemies of the nation. They chanted slogans condemning the Israeli occupation's atrocities, carried out with U.S. support, including genocide, starvation policies against Gaza's population, and the blockade preventing the entry of food and medical aid.
A statement issued by the rallies affirmed unwavering commitment to the faithful stance alongside Gaza-through support, backing, and escalation-until God grants victory, relief, and liberation for Gaza, Palestine, and the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque. The statement declared: 'Any Zionist or American aggression or escalation in any form will never push us to abandon our religion, identity, principles, and values, which we have practically demonstrated through our stance with Gaza.'
The statement praised the qualitative advancement of the Yemeni Armed Forces and God's guidance in producing cluster warhead missiles that, since their first precise strike, have driven the Zionists into madness. It stressed that the Yemeni Muslim people are closely following the ongoing, open, and deliberate steps aimed at targeting and demolishing Al-Aqsa Mosque as part of the so-called 'Greater Israel' project, which seeks to establish itself upon the ruins of the sanctities and resources of the Arab and Islamic nations.
It called upon Arab and Islamic peoples to prepare and seriously consider practical steps to confront such a crime, affirming Yemen's continued jihad and readiness to face this criminal plot, defending sanctities, lives, honor, and land with all the strength and resolve God enables them with. The statement strongly condemned-in the harshest terms-the recent act by the Zionists and Americans, through one of the American Zionists, of burning a copy of the Holy Qur'an, describing it as a vile and despicable act that exposes the malice of enemies who oppose all sanctities, who do not revere God Almighty, His scriptures, His guidance, or His prophets and messengers.
It further called upon Muslims first, and then the free people of the world, to turn to the Qur'an-to its guidance, light, and insights that can rescue humanity from the darkness of tyranny embodied today by Zionism and its agents-and to rediscover the true character of Prophet Muhammad, peace, blessings be upon him and his family. The statement concluded that the Zionist tyrants' targeting of the Qur'an and the Prophet, peace be upon him, is a clear indication of their fear of the light and guidance they carry.
