Sanaa:His Excellency Field Marshal Mahdi Al-Mashat, President of the Supreme Political Council, has declared Yemen's intention to end the ongoing aggression and siege imposed by Saudi Arabia, using all available means. In a recent message to the Yemeni people and the Islamic Ummah, President Al-Mashat emphasized the need to address humanitarian issues, repair damages inflicted on Yemen, and uphold the nation's sovereignty and independence in line with international principles.

He reiterated Yemen's support for the Palestinian people and called for the formation of an Islamic alliance to address regional challenges.
President Al-Mashat concluded by expressing confidence in Yemen's ability to secure its rights and warned against any further attacks on holy sites, asserting that Yemen's commitment to defending its sovereignty remains steadfast.
