Yemeni Government’s Unwavering Support for Gaza Amidst Internal Development Initiatives

General

Sana'a: With tireless dedication, persistent effort, and unwavering resolve, the Government of Change and Construction has continued to fulfill its responsibilities by closely monitoring the evolving situation and taking decisive action to ease the suffering of citizens both at home and abroad. Over the past week, the Government, in coordination with various state agencies, has operated with the unity and intensity of a beehive-working diligently to address urgent needs, implement key priorities, and reinforce its steadfast support for Gaza. This included executing strategic military operations, organizing mobilization efforts, and leading demonstrations in solidarity with the people of the Gaza Strip.

According to Yemen News Agency, Yemen's position in support of Gaza remains unwavering. The nation continues to take decisive measures to pressure the Israeli occupation, including the imposition of air and naval blockades. The Yemeni Armed Forces recently announced the enforcement of a maritime blockade on the port of Haifa in the occupied Palestinian territories, building on earlier actions targeting Ben Gurion Airport in Lod and the port of Umm al-Rashrash (Eilat).

The Humanitarian Operations and Coordination Center (HOCC) has issued formal communications to international shipping companies, warning of the heightened risks associated with vessels entering or departing from the port of Haifa. These include the potential for sanctions against shipping fleets that violate the embargo or collaborate with entities that do.

The Yemeni operations have had a significant impact on the Israeli enemy across various levels-most notably on the economic front. Several international airlines have extended their suspension of flights to the occupied Palestinian territories. In addition, maritime traffic through key regional waterways-such as the Red Sea, Bab al-Mandab, the Gulf of Aden, and the Arabian Sea-toward the occupied port of Umm al-Rashrash (Eilat) has been effectively disrupted.

Across the capital, Sana'a, and other governorates, mass marches continued with great momentum. These demonstrations reflect deep faith, human conscience, and unwavering loyalty to the sacrifices of the martyrs and the wounded. They also serve as a heartfelt expression of solidarity with the people of Gaza, who are enduring a brutal campaign of genocide.

While the Security and Intelligence Service (SIS) plays a vital role in early response to enemy plots and criminal activities targeting the country's national security, Prime Minister Ahmed Al-Rahwi, during his meeting with the SIS's Deputy Chief, Major General Abdul Qader Al-Shami, praised the efforts made by the SIS's leadership and cadres and the security and intelligence successes achieved, including the uncovering of numerous spy networks affiliated with the American, Israeli, and Saudi enemies.

Yemen continues to address internal social issues while supporting Gaza. The commitment to social stability is evident in the coordination between the government and the Shura Council to strengthen internal resilience and security. Prime Ministers Ahmed Al-Rahwi and Mohammed Al-Aidaroos reviewed the contributions of Shura Council members at the local level in addressing social issues.

Moreover, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs affirmed Yemen's commitment to the safety and security of the Red Sea, limiting its protection to the coastal states and categorically rejecting its militarization. The Ministry noted that the maritime navigation ban is limited to the Zionist entity only and comes after the international community's failure to lift the blockade imposed on Gaza and halt the ongoing genocide crimes for more than 19 months.

In a remarkable achievement that reflects the will of national steadfastness in the face of systematic targeting, civilian flights have resumed at Sana'a International Airport. Flights were operated between Sana'a International Airport and Queen Alia International Airport in Jordan, along with humanitarian flights from the United Nations, indicating the complete technical and operational readiness of the airport.

As part of Yemen's celebration of the 35th anniversary of the Republic of Yemen, the Government of Change and Construction organized a speech ceremony attended by various political leaders. The events highlighted the crimes of the Saudi-Emirati occupier in the occupied governorates and emphasized the need to support the people of the occupied territories through all available means.

The Ministry of Culture and Tourism organized a folk arts festival under the slogan "From Sana'a to Gaza" to celebrate the National Day, sending a message to the world that the determination and resolve of the Yemeni people will prevail against divisive projects.

In efforts to maintain the continuity of state agencies, Prime Minister Ahmed al-Rahwi directed the provision of urgent needs for public hospitals and civil defense. Additionally, various projects are underway to improve infrastructure, including the rehabilitation of health facilities, road maintenance, and water supply projects.

In Ibb governorate, a project is underway to rehabilitate and repave the main road in the center of the Far' Al Udayn District, with a length of 1.1 kilometers and a width of seven meters. The project, funded by local authorities, is 50 percent complete.

To alleviate the suffering of citizens in Hodeida Governorate, emergency measures are being implemented to address the electricity situation and cover the existing deficit in energy production resulting from the Israeli enemy's targeting of power plants.

Community initiatives are being encouraged, with a focus on enhancing health services and improving water access in rural areas. Additionally, the government is supporting vocational and technical education, with final examinations underway for students in technical and vocational institutes.

The government is also addressing the needs of the occupied governorates, with Prime Minister Ahmed al-Rahwi emphasizing the provision of necessary assistance to confront the occupier and its projects.

Efforts to consolidate security and stability continue, with cooperation between security agencies and local authorities. The Ministry of Economy, Industry, and Investment has completed projects to update the legislative system for the economic sector in light of emerging changes and developments.

In response to the theft and looting of Yemeni antiquities, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism is working to ensure that all Yemeni antiquities are displayed in national museums.

Without tiring or faltering, Yemen's leadership, government, and people continue to work tirelessly to overcome challenges and move steadily toward building a modern Yemeni state, in parallel with support operations in Gaza and mobilization activities to confront the escalating aggression against the Yemeni and Palestinian people.
