Mass rallies erupted across Yemen on Friday, with demonstrators filling the streets in Saada, Raymah, and Marib, and multiple districts of the governorates of Amran, Ibb, Taiz, Hajja, Dhamar, al-Jawf, and al-Mahwit, all showing solidarity with the Palestinian people and their ongoing Resistance.
Under the banner "Unwavering, Relentless, and Resolute Solidarity with Gaza," Yemen is poised for an unprecedented display of unity and support for the Palestinian cause. A record-breaking turnout is expected, with thousands of demonstrators gathering at Sanaa's al-Sabeen Square, the epicenter of the afternoon’s protests.
This massive outpouring of solidarity highlights Yemen’s deep commitment to standing with Gaza and its people, as the Strip continues to show unwavering resolve in the face of ongoing Israeli genocide.
In further detail, the Supreme Committee for the Support of Al-Aqsa in Yemen has organized more than 520 central and regional gathering points across 14 governorates, calling for massive rallies in both the morning and evening hours.
In total, 110 squares will host rallies in the coastal governorate of Hodeidah along the Red Sea, 108 in Hajja in the northwest, 85 in Ibb in central Yemen, and 51 in Amran. Other protests will be held in the squares of Saada, al-Jawf, Raymah, Dhamar, al-Mahwit, and Taiz. Dozens of other squares are also set to host gatherings in the governorates of al-Bayda, Marib, and areas under the administration of Sana'a in Lahj and al-Dhale.
Leader of the Yemeni Ansar Allah movement, Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, delivered a speech on Thursday on the developments in the region with a focus on the battles in Syria, the Gaza front, and the Lebanese front.
Sayyed al-Houthi also highlighted that the United States and the Israeli occupation "are attempting to completely divert attention from the Palestinian issue, aiming to liquidate it in an environment of complete distraction, while simultaneously opening fronts against anyone who stands in solidarity with it."
Additionally, the leader of the Ansar Allah movement noted that "the only beacon of light and hope amid the darkness of Arab and Islamic failure lies in the efforts of al-Quds' Axis of Resistance and resilience... yet some media outlets attempt to undermine it through distortion."
He explained that the distortion of the efforts of the Axis of Resistance by some media outlets, including Arab media, "is carried out under Western orders to fragment the region." He emphasized that Iran "provides support and assistance to the entire axis, with the Palestinian people at the forefront."
With regard to the situation in the Gaza Strip. the Ansar Allah leader stressed that US President-elect Donald Trump's threats to "turn Gaza into hell if the Israeli prisoners are not released, reflects the US' apathy toward Palestinians."
In this context, he pointed out that the Israeli occupation "expresses its hostility toward Islam and Muslims in partnership with, and with the support of, the Americans, the other face of Zionism."
He explained that what the occupation is doing "is not limited to the Palestinian people in Palestine; rather, it seeks to target all communities."
