Sana'a: The capital Sana'a witnessed a massive public rally on Friday to commemorate International al-Quds Day, in victory for the Palestinian people and al-Aqsa Mosque, and to reaffirm the Yemeni people's continued support and advocacy for the Palestinian cause and the nation's sanctities.
According to Yemen News Agency, the gathered crowds, who marched under rainfall, raised the flags of Yemen, Palestine, and Iran, alongside slogans of resistance and "disavowal of enemies." They renewed their pledge of loyalty to Jerusalem and support for the Palestinian people in their just cause until the restoration of all occupied lands and the establishment of an independent state with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital.
The roaring crowds reflected a distinct image of Yemeni steadfastness and faith, adhering to the authentic "Muhammadi" path in supporting truth and the oppressed, and defending the issues and sanctities of the Islamic nation-foremost among them Palestine and Al-Aqsa.
With strong resolve, firm will, and deep-rooted faith, the people of "Faith and Wisdom" renewed their commitment to the path of Jihad and sacrifice for the sake of Allah. They emphasized the choice of resistance to face the "evils of humanity" and the enemies of the nation-global Zionism, represented by its arms, the United States and Israel, and their followers among Western regimes and regional agents.
In Al-Sabeen Square, the voices of the crowds echoed with chants of pride, dignity, and resistance, sending a message to enemies and the world that the Yemeni people are on high alert for any developments, with "their fingers on the trigger" to confront the forces of global tyranny and arrogance.
The participants chanted slogans such as:
"The last Friday of Ramadan... al- Quds Day is its title."
"Al-Quds is our primary cause... we come to it as a promised destiny."
"Yemen of wisdom stands with Iran... and the glory of Iraq and Lebanon."
"Israel is the cancer... America is the Great Satan."
"O Gaza, we are still with you... if they return, we shall return."
At the beginning of the rally's statement, the Acting Prime Minister, Scholar Mohammed Miftah, paid tribute to a female martyr who was killed Friday during a Quds Day vigil in Iran under enemy fire. Addressing "the arch-criminals," he stated: "Here are the heroes of Yemen gathering in hundreds of squares to tell the depraved Trump and his criminal partner Netanyahu: We are, God willing, steadfast, firm, and coming to uproot you."
The statement issued by the rally emphasized the following points:
Commemorating International Quds Day-declared by Imam Ruhollah Khomeini-is an integral part of the Yemeni "Jihadist movement" to seek the pleasure of Allah.
This year's occasion comes during a sensitive stage in the conflict with global Zionism and its Western allies, coinciding with "brutal American-Israeli aggression" against the Islamic Republic of Iran.
The statement renewed full support for Iran (leadership, people, and Revolutionary Guard), praising their "painful strikes" against enemies. It also lauded Hezbollah in Lebanon for pushing the enemy back to "square zero" and the heroes in Iraq for their legitimate defense against American occupiers.
It called upon the peoples of the Islamic nation to return to the Holy Quran as a practical project for diagnosing problems, identifying enemies, and ensuring victory.
The rally concluded with prayers for victory for the Palestinian people and the entire "Axis of Jihad and Resistance," asking for mercy for the martyrs, healing for the wounded, and freedom for the prisoners.
