Tens of thousands of people have staged mass rallies in Yemen’s northwestern province of Sa’ada, reiterating their unflinching stance in support of the people of Palestine, their legitimate cause as well as the Axis of Resistance.
According to Yemen’s al-Masirah television channel, Yemenis held demonstrations in dozens of districts and regions across the province, including Majz, Ghamr, al-Dhaher, Baqim, Kitaf wa al-Boqe'e, al-Hashwah, Monabbih and Qatabir, on Friday, expressing solidarity with the oppressed people of Palestine, and condemned the US president’s plan to take over Gaza and relocate Palestinians to neighboring countries like Jordan and Egypt.
The demonstrators waved flags of Palestine and Yemen, while chanting slogans in denunciation of Donald Trump’s Gaza displacement scheme. They also chanted slogans in support of the Yemeni Ansarullah movement and other forces of the Axis of Resistance.
In their slogans, the demonstrators emphasized that they are not afraid of the United States and Israel, and will not allow the fiendish plot to proceed.
Houthi to Trump: Gaza displacement plan will fail
During the massive rally in the provincial capital of Sa’ada, Mohammad Ali al-Houthi, a member of Yemen's Supreme Political Council, addressed the US president, saying, “Your military power and the support you offered to the occupier (Israel) will not force the Palestinian people to leave their homeland.”
He stressed that Yemen stands by Palestine, and the US will witness the full extent of the Yemeni military prowess – something it hasn’t experienced so far.
“The missiles and forces you dispatched to Palestinian territories will fail to displace the people of Gaza. Your statements will not materialize, and will not manage to force the Yemeni nation into abandoning their position,” Houthi said.
He stressed that Yemeni people and their armed forces are on alert closely monitoring the unfolding developments.
The senior Yemeni official also pointed to the collision of the US aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman with a large merchant vessel on Wednesday night in the Mediterranean Sea, saying the incident exposes the anxiety and distress that the US Navy is enduring as a result of battles with the Yemeni armed forces.
He stated that all options are on the table, and Yemeni armed forces stand fully prepared for any possible scenario, especially after recent remarks by Ansarulalh leader Abul-Malik al-Houthi that Yemen will intervene, even militarily, if the US and Israel attempt to enforce the Gaza displacement plan by force or collude with Arab regimes to implement it.
Houthi reiterated Yemeni people's support for the Palestinian nation for the past 15 months, adding that their million-man marches attest to such a stance.
