Taiz: Residents of Taiz governorate poured into the streets on Friday in 87 massive marches held under the slogan 'Steadfast with Gaza. We Fear No Threats, Nor Do Conspiracies Intimidate Us.' The demonstrations underscored the Yemeni people's unwavering commitment to supporting Gaza and standing with the Palestinian cause.
According to Yemen News Agency, the marches, which took place across the districts of al-Taezeyah, Khadir, Maqbana, Sharab al-Rawnah, Mawiyah, Sharab al-Salam, Hayfan, Sala, al-Selw, Jabal Habashi, Sama', al-Mawasit, Saber al-Mawadim, and al-Misrakh, witnessed broad participation, including members of the Shura Council, local and executive leaders, security and military officials, and community figures. Participants stressed that neither the threats and conspiracies of enemies nor the complicity of Arab regimes would deter Yemenis from their faith-driven position in supporting the oppressed Palestinian people in Gaza.
The participants expressed deep sorrow over the ongoing siege, starvation, and deprivation inflicted on Gaza's residents by the Zionist entity, in the face of Arab, Islamic, and international failure to halt the continuing genocide against the population. The demonstrators urged Arab and Islamic peoples to assume their religious, humanitarian, and moral responsibilities toward Gaza, affirming that the Yemeni people will continue their support until the Palestinians attain all their legitimate rights.
They also hailed the heroic operations of the Palestinian resistance fighters, who defend the dignity of the entire nation against one of the most brutal aggressions in modern history. A statement issued at the conclusion of the marches called on the Islamic Ummah to return sincerely to the Holy Qur'an, the source capable of dispelling the dark Zionist and satanic deceptions. It reaffirmed Yemen's steadfast position in defending Gaza, Palestine, al-Aqsa Mosque, and all Islamic sanctities, confident in God's promise of eventual victory.
The statement denounced the explicit support provided by certain Arab regimes to the Israeli enemy, holding such complicity responsible for enabling genocide in Gaza and emboldening the Zionist entity to openly pursue its expansionist scheme of a so-called 'Greater Israel.' It particularly condemned the Saudi regime for supplying arms and logistical support to the enemy while working to undermine resistance movements in Palestine and Lebanon, as well as the Egyptian regime for striking deals with the occupier, alongside other collaborating governments.
Furthermore, the statement condemned the latest escalation announced by the Israeli enemy, backed by the United States, in launching a new and more savage phase of aggression against Gaza City. 'We stand firmly with the courageous resistance fighters who are inflicting heavy blows on the Zionist enemy,' the statement read. 'We assure them of our solidarity and prayers for their victory.'
The statement also praised the operations carried out by the Yemeni Armed Forces at sea and inside the enemy's depth, urging further escalation, innovation, and development of such actions. It called on the peoples of the region and the free nations of the world to extend greater support to the Palestinian and Lebanese resistance and to confront schemes targeting the nation's centers of strength, which serve as a prelude to the bloodiest project known as 'Greater Israel.'
