Sana’a: The Parliament began its current work session on Saturday, chaired by Speaker of the Council Yahya Ali al-Rai. At the outset of the session, the Parliament expressed support for the recent actions taken by leader of the revolution Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi and President of the Supreme Political Council Mahdi al-Mashat.
According to Yemen News Agency, this included their calls for full readiness at all levels to counter any potential American aggression, including military intervention, in defense of the Palestinian cause and to safeguard the rights and sanctities of the Arab and Islamic nations. The Parliament emphasized the importance of heeding Yemen’s warnings and stopping any escalation, particularly in light of President Trump’s and Prime Minister Netanyahu’s recent statements advocating for displacement or resumption of aggression in Gaza.
The Parliament affirmed that Yemen would not remain passive in the face of continued Palestinian oppression and would use all available means-military and economic-to halt the displacement and aggression. The Parliament commended the large-scale demonstrations held in Sana’a’s Seventy Square and across the country, which expressed solidarity with the Palestinian people and opposed the displacement plan announced by U.S. President Donald Trump.
Furthermore, the Parliament praised the leader of the revolution’s call for national, Arab, and Islamic unity to prevent the passage of a new version of the Balfour Declaration and encouraged the Arab and Islamic peoples to bolster their solidarity in facing regional threats. It also condemned the involvement of puppet regimes in the displacement plot, describing it as a betrayal that contradicts international law and moral standards.
The Parliament called for a widespread political and economic boycott of the Israeli entity and its allies, stressing the necessity of unity and steadfastness among the Yemeni people and their political factions to confront aggression. The Parliament urged regional and international parliaments, free nations, and organizations such as the United Nations and the Arab League to act against the displacement plans and address the issue at all levels.
The Parliament expressed its support for the two-thirds of Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives who condemned Trump’s proposal for U.S. control over Gaza, calling it immoral and a threat to global peace. In a related development, the Parliament welcomed South Africa’s decision to halt all American business operations in response to Trump’s actions regarding the cut-off of U.S. aid.
The Parliament also condemned the chaotic and corrupt practices of the mercenary government, highlighting the looting of public resources, including oil wealth, and the diversion of international aid intended for the Yemeni people. The Parliament discussed the deteriorating security and living conditions in the occupied Yemeni provinces and expressed support for the citizens there who have been protesting against foreign occupation forces. It reaffirmed that the expulsion of Saudi-Emirati forces from all Yemeni territories is the only path to peace and security.
The Parliament reviewed and approved various government proposals, including amendments to laws regarding pensions for the armed forces and security personnel, as well as the government’s implementation of the Parliament’s previous recommendations on transport and road regulation. The Parliament also continued its review of reports concerning the draft law on the temporary mechanism to support public sector salaries and small depositors. The next session is scheduled for Sunday, with the Parliament planning to continue its discussions and decision-making.
