Millions of Yemenis rally in support of Gaza, say won't back down

Yemeni demonstrators have taken to the streets in cities and towns including the northern city of Sa’ada and the capital Sana’a to voice their support for Gaza and resistance movements.

AhlulBayt News Agency: Yemeni demonstrators have taken to the streets in cities and towns including the northern city of Sa’ada and the capital Sana’a to voice their support for Gaza and resistance movements.

The protesters on Friday denounced the Israeli regime for committing genocidal crimes against Palestinians.

Under the slogans "We are with Gaza" and "We will fight against America, and its supporters", Yemeni protesters marched through the streets of Sana’a, and several other provinces in "largest march so far."

The protesters decried Israel and its main supporter, the US, for the genocide in Gaza, while hailing the Yemeni army for its reprisal military operations targeting Israel-linked vessels in the high seas.

A statement following the march by the Yemeni million-man rallies hailed the "legendary resilience of the Palestinian people and their heroic Resistance fighters in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank."

The statement provided reassurance of ongoing support to the Palestinian people and their resistance fighters.

"Rest assured that you are not alone. We are with you and by your side, and we will not retreat from our firm and principled stance," the statement read.

The ongoing support fronts in Lebanon and Iraq were further praised in the statement, along with the joint operations of the Yemeni Armed Forces and the Islamic Resistance in Iraq.

The demonstrators also praised the ongoing student protests in American and European universities in support of Palestine.

"We say to the peoples of our nation, if the injustice done to the Palestinian people has driven some in Europe and America to embrace Islam and declare their stance against Israeli crimes, then you are more entitled to move and fulfill your responsibilities."

The statement from Yemen urged for widespread economic boycotts against Israeli adversaries, emphasizing that this is achievable by all nations and no one is immune to it.

Ever since Israel launched its genocidal war over Gaza in October 2023, large demonstrations have taken place in the capital city of Sana’a and 14 other provinces in Yemen.

The rallies are a show of support for the Palestinian people, as well as a condemnation of the Israeli genocide in Gaza. Additionally, the Yemeni Armed Forces and the support fronts for the Palestinian Resistance have received backing from the Yemeni people.
