Israel’s sponsors accountable for ongoing aggression on Sana’a, top Yemeni diplomat warns

Yemen's foreign minister has condemned the recent US airstrikes in Sana’a, asserting that any nation supporting the Zionist regime’s aggression shares responsibility for its atrocities.

“Any country that supports the Zionist regime in any way in its aggression against Sana’a is a partner in this aggression, and must assume responsibility for the repercussions of such conduct,” Jamal Ahmed Ali Amer wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday.

He also warned Western countries of the disastrous consequences of their support for the Israeli regime’s ongoing aggression against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, saying they will have to pay a heavy price and must brace themselves for a strong response.

“The terrified Zionist regime, which speaks of a bank of targets inside Yemen, has demonstrated its failure and defeat by bombing facilities that have already been struck,” the senior Yemeni diplomat pointed out.

The remarks came after the United States military said it had conducted a series of air strikes against targets in Yemen’s capital Sana’a, including a missile storage facility and a “command-and-control” site.

US Central Command (CENTCOM), which oversees US Army operations in West Asia, added it also hit multiple one-way drones and an anti-ship cruise missile over the Red Sea.

The Yemeni information minister also condemned in the strongest terms the recent US military airstrikes against Sana’a.

“It is fairly evident that Americans have not learned from their past mistakes, and will continue to taste humiliation at the hands of Yemenis,” Hashem Sharaf al-Din noted.

‘Severe consequences’

A senior member of the political bureau of the Ansarullah resistance movement also warned that the United States and Israel would face severe consequences if they escalate tensions and expand their acts of aggression against Yemen.

Hizam al-Assad stated that his group is prepared for a full-scale war.

“Sana’a is not afraid of the spread of war. It is America that should be afraid, as its interests and assets are widespread in our region.

“We are not fearful of a full-scale war being imposed on us. The US and the Zionist regime should be scared of such an event because the outcome will not be in their favor at all,” he added.

He stressed that US interests in West Asia are extensive, and the existence of the Tel Aviv regime hinges upon the equation of security, military superiority, and deterrence, which no longer exists.

“The attacks by the US, Britain, and the Zionist regime [on Yemen] are a sign of their defeat and confusion. We have no apprehension about Yemen’s military capabilities and prowess.

“Yemen’s military capabilities and hardware have been developed for difficult war conditions. Homegrown Yemeni munitions are being stored in safe places, and the country’s diverse natural features have also contributed to such security,” Assad stated.

Yemenis have declared their open support for Palestine’s struggle against the Israeli occupation since the regime launched a devastating war on Gaza on October 7, 2023, after the territory’s resistance movements carried out Operation Al-Aqsa Storm against the occupying entity.

Ansarullah maintains that it targets ships linked to Israel, the United States, or the United Kingdom to force an end to the Tel Aviv regime’s genocidal war on Gaza.

The Yemeni armed forces have said they will not stop their attacks until Israel’s ground and aerial offensives in Gaza end.

So far, Israel has killed at least 45,227 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured 107,573 others in Gaza.
