President Al-Mashat praised Dr. Al-Maqaleh’s experience as a writer and critic, who adhered to an honest position in his relationship with writing and criticism, and expressed a different and distinct experience in his relationship with writing poems, criticism, and essays, and he was a great scholar in all of that.

In the cable, he expressed his sincere condolences and sincere sympathy to all members of Al-Maqaleh family in Ibb province for this painful affliction, asking Allah Almighty to bestow the deceased with the abundance of mercy and forgiveness, and grant him the highest paradise, and inspire his family and relatives patience and solace.
