A statement issued by the rallies in Ibb Governorate reiterated a firm and unwavering stance in supporting the Palestinian people and their holy sites, rejecting all Zionist and American crimes and schemes targeting Gaza and the entire Islamic Ummah. The statement condemned the continued provision of support and services to the enemy-through sending ships loaded with goods and weapons, and signing economic deals-by certain regimes that remain silent in the face of the occupation's threats to their own countries and peoples, calling such behavior a disgrace to sound human conscience and a betrayal of the Ummah's causes.
It stressed that the Palestinian cause and Islamic holy sites are an inseparable part of the Ummah's faith and identity, affirming that Yemenis will continue to sacrifice their lives and resources in support of the resistance, which is making the ultimate sacrifices in defense of the entire Ummah against the gravest crimes committed by the Zionist enemy and its American partner-crimes that would spread across the region were it not for those still raising arms against the enemy.
The statement underscored that the brutality committed by the occupation in Gaza has exceeded all imagination and surpassed every standard, obligating the Ummah and all humanity to take serious, practical steps to criminalize Zionism and disarm the enemy, given the grave threat it poses to global peace and the peoples of the region. It stressed that supporting and strengthening the capabilities of the resistance in Palestine and Lebanon is an urgent necessity to confront the enemy's satanic expansionist ambitions and prevent the spread of its bloody crimes, warning that negligence or failure in this regard would cost the Ummah and humanity dearly, inflicting immeasurable losses, erasing their honor, and bringing painful consequences in both this life and the hereafter.
The statement declared outright rejection of the 'Greater Israel' plan announced by the Israeli Prime Minister, which aims to fully or partially seize several Arab countries, including Mecca and Medina, stressing that this malicious project poses an extreme danger to the Ummah, its holy sites, and its lands, and that the Yemeni people will confront it with all the means granted to them by God, relying solely on Him. It noted that this plan is a religious doctrine for the enemy, pursued day and night, affirming that any attempt to disarm or besiege the resistance in Gaza, Lebanon, or any other arena of jihad is but another chapter of the Zionist project. The statement rejected any moves by regimes, governments, or groups that serve this plan by targeting the peoples of the Ummah and its sources of strength.
