This Friday, in the capital of Yemen, Sanaa, thousands of people demonstrated in the streets to show their support for the Palestinian people in the midst of the genocide committed by the Zionist regime against them. ⠀

Yemen declared its unwavering support for the people of Gaza and condemned once again the actions of Israel, the United States and the European Union.

Sanaa also condemned the actions of the Arab countries that support the Zionist regime and protect it in a military and media way.

For its part, the Yemeni government congratulated the actions of the Houthis, against the commercial ships of Israel and the western powers.

The statement also formally congratulated the government of Iran for its stance of resistance and combativeness against Tel Aviv’s attacks against them.

For its part, the Yemeni government congratulated the actions of the Houthis, against the commercial ships of Israel and the western powers.

A bit presumptuous considering Ansarallah/Houthis are the de facto government of Yemen with over 80% of the population under their governance with popular support — to the point that even the US offered to recognize it as the legitimate government if they stopped the blockade — but better than opposing them I suppose.

I don’t believe that would benefit Houthis. They would then be held accountable for future Red Sea attacks as a nation, rather than a rebel group.
